Comment from dragonpoet
Nice use of metaphor in this 5 7 5 poem that shows your sadness at the passing of Spring into Fall. It is ironic that you use the petals as tears because the water that they fall into is what tears are made of.
Congrats on placing second in the contest.

Comment from Ann Philips
I really like this poem. The imagery was very good in so few words. It has a clear and cohesive message, yet the last line adds new insight or depth. I would have liked a forced pause at the end of line two to add emphasis to the change and force me, as the reader, to pause before reading the next line. In my first reading of the poem I missed the real point of the last line.

Excellent review, but what are you describing is a haiku and this is a 5/7/5 whatever. But I will take another look at it, and thank you for the critique.

I didn't mean to suggest that you needed to have a moment of insight in that line, but I found it nice having it there.... I liked that last line and felt it was strong, but I almost missed it and I admit that I like to nitpick.
Comment from Natali Holden
"Pink Tears" successfully creates a picture in my mind. The flowers falling into a pond like teardrops. It also reminds me of when I cry, usually it goes on and on for awhile, it makes me think of the blossoms continually falling. A beautiful picture.

Technically speaking your verse meets the criteria.
Logically speaking it is at fault:
Pink cherry blossoms
drop like tears on temple pond
Spring a memory
Spring would not be a memory because cherry trees bloom in spring.

But they drop at the end of May. Then comes summer. But if you want to be correct and logical, you may have a point. This was not my intention with this poem.

I live in the southern hemisphere. It's still very cold and 'springy' when their petals fall. It's the spring winds that knock them off.

There is a vivid image in your words. "drop like tears on temple pond" brings forth emotion and makes your words come alive with nature. Excellent poetic form and use of words.

'Pink Tears' is a lovely Haiku.
In just three lines and 17 syllables, you've managed to pen a success.
Beautiful artwork: The image shown supports the poem.
Best of luck to you in the contest.
Thanks for sharing your 5-7-5.
Good luck with your future writing!

Thank you for the review, Irish Rain. I'm glad you liked "Spring a memory" - some did not. But I write to my own muse, and it's always nice when someone appreciates it.
