Excellent

Hello, author,
Your 5-7-5 poem is an excellent entry for this contest. The photo supplants your beautiful words. I had never heard of this exotic flower before.
I like the way your poem also has a sensuous overtone.
Good luck with all your writing. I'm sorry I didn't see this poem to review it earlier.
Blessings,
Cindy

Such a cool looking flower ya? It's pollinated by the sphinx moth with this hugely long proboscis.

Thanks , I was wondering.

It?s a shame that its beauty is not seen by many hidden in the mangroves.

Thank you. I actually edited somewhat after you read it. A little to racey I thought.

Congratulations for successfully writing and posting a 5-7-5 about the swamp flower. And more so, reminiscing its allures and striking sensuous accoutrements.

The work earns its texture through its effective use alliterations, personification and imagery.

Excellent work. Bravo.
