Flowers
A ode poem 5-7-529 total reviews
Comment from nomi338
I am probably the least qualified to speak with any kind of authority on 5-7-5 poetry. I have never attempted it, and do not plan on doing so anytime in the near future. I would instead like to comment on flowers. Overtime I have come to realize how important flowers are to the poet. I seriously doubt that any poet worthy of the title, has ever not written at least one poem involving flowers in some form or manner.

Thanks
Comment from Laurie Holding
...I think that depends on how many syllables we give to "ism", which you and I agree must be two, so yes, your haiku is in perfect order! I love the accompanying artwork, and I think you've stated a lovely and resounding truth here. Nice work!

Comment from Colorado Owl
So beautiful - your words and picture! I agree. Flowers can lift our spirit and help us through difficult times. It is a broken world. We have not been able to learn from our past, and have forgotten what's important. Thank you.

Hi Samantha!
It's wonderful to meet you and do my first review of your work! I often find it difficult to review short poetry, but I have developed this idea of IMPRESSION. How did the poet make me feel with her word-play? I loved this one right away. It says so much in ten words. Emotionally it acts as a continuum. It goes from "summer flowers" (beauty, postive) to "broken world" (ugly, negative) and these are connected by the idea of a "coping mechanism." This leads the reader to a conclusion that is satisfying, at least lyrically.
One little thing I would suggest. Please take my advice if you agree, but discard if you do not. I would consider making "My" in the second line lower case since the poem is all one sentence and since you didn't capitalize "in" in the last line.
Well done!
Patrick

Comment from barbara.wilkey
Thank you for sharing this writing prompt with us. I enjoyed reading. Yes, summer flowers are very therapeutic. As I counted the syllables in the second line I only came up with six. It could just be me.

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
Perfectly done to fit the brief, this was a delightful post to see and read with excellent fluency and message. We all need coping mechanisms and that's where nature comes in. Well done, Samantha, and good luck! Debbie.
My only suggestion would be to centre the text in slightly bolder font so that it makes the strong statement it deserves to do.

Good morning, Samantha!
I'm not a poet so no lectures on rules from me. I like the words and the thoughts it brings to the reader... The scent of the blossoms and their beauty are a resting place for the stress of everyday living.
Smiles, Carol
