Comment from Verna Cole Mitchell

Excellent

This is a great response to the poetry prompt. Your rhythm and rhyme are excellent, and your musing throughout flows well. I hope this does well in the contest.

Thanks, Verna. You can't beat the daisy method.

Comment from Debra White

Excellent

Hello :)
I enjoyed reading your rhymed poem.
It is very well written in great meter with a sound rhyme scheme.
I remember painstakingly pulling petals from daisies as a child and hoping that the last petal would confirm that the boy of the moment loved me!
Good luck in the booth.
Best wishes, Debra :)

Thanks, Debra. How many times did you use the daisy method?

reply by Debra White on 06-May-2023

Probably every week! I was a fickle child!

This is a nice poem has good meter and good rhyming scheme. It's a good submission for the contest. I see no issues with grammar or aesthetics. I like the picture you
choose too!
I might consider a larger font so that the people that have a are unable to see well. Other then that I see no issues
Good submission thanks for sharing!

A lovely well-rhymed and flowing verse with good imagery ('hit and run') and a theme that perfectly fulfils the brief. Well done and good luck! Debbie

Thanks, Debbie. I tried this and got a winner - 58 years of marriage.

Excellent

Nicely written with perfect rhyming and scanning. I like the tongue-in-cheek cynicism of employing the daisy-plucking method. All good fortune in the contest, Julie Lau
