This is a lovely poem. I like the alliteration of the first line, the phrase "rain-scented breezes.'' and the idea of their swaying as an introduction to a storm. The picture illustrates the poem well. I hope this does well in the contest.

You captured the fresh scent in the air before a storm. Adding fresh spring blossoms to your poem, gave it a magical touch. Together they make a winning combination. Good luck in the contest.

This is a beautifully stated Nature 5-7-5 entry. The text is a great size. I like that it is centered on the visual. It makes the text more prominent. The message is clearly presented and easily understood. The visual fits perfectly. Good luck in the contest.

Excellent 5-7-5, with a superb presentation. Accurate depiction, as one can indeed smell the the rain in breezes when a storm is approaching. Well done. Good wishes for your entry.

Sounds like a spring storm which would be much more welcome than this winter storm we're having. I liked the "rain-scented breezes-" as you not only bring up the color of the pink blossoms but the smell of the rain which gives double-sensory experience. Best wishes in the contest!

Yes, Helen, I am done with winter though ours has been mild and light on the snow. Thanks for taking the time to read and review.
Comment from Anne Johnston
What a beautiful picture of spring blossoms. A good reminder that even if we are in a deep freeze, that spring will come. This meets the syllable requirement and speaks of nature as contest required.

What a lovely haiku. It follows the 5-7-5 syllable format, and I can picture it. I can almost smell the pink blossoms. And there's the anticipation of a shower of petals with the storm. Very visual. A word painting. I think that's exactly what the haiku form is supposed to be!

Thank you so much for your kind words and the lovely six stars! I love the idea of a 'word painting.' I appreciate you taking the time to read and review.

The first two lines of this poem flow and connect well. The last line puts
the poem all together. I like how this author describes the "sway in
rain-scented breezes" before the storm! The artwork is awesome and
compliments this poem well.

This gorgeous poem makes me think of Spring--just what I need tonight. It's supposed to get really cold on Friday -19 F. I think it's the night time low. At least I hope so. Good luck in the contest.
