Hello Teri
what a nice 5-7-5 poem about trees
There are so many trees such as the lilac trees, blossoms on fruit trees that we cane enjoy their fragrance

I love trees I think they are spiritual. I enjoyed reading your nice nature poem. It flows with the sway of the trees. Good alliteration of words tall trees, mesmerize me and sweet smell.

I like trees too. Writer in my opinion lacks sufficient items for this stir. Great subject selection but reference of scent might elevate read.

Hello :)

Nice 5/7/5, good job with the syllable count. The content of the poem is repetitious ... the tall trees.. you wrote it twice. I think it would improve greatly if you change the last line.

It is okay. Trees do add so much to the landscape and serve so many different purposes from providing homes for animals to firewood. Well done.

I love the image and the syllables are all correct. I am not sure about repeating "the tall trees in the satori line.

I wish you the best of luck in the contest. Mary

You could write, the first line." In the breeze they sway"

this is a good write, mystery writer, I think it would read better if you connected the first two lines and make a long sentence instead of three short ones. I love the picture choice. I wish you the best of luck in the contest

example

the tall trees sway and
their colors mesmerize me
majestic marvels

I love the 5-7-5 type poetry. It takes a mastery of language, music and talent to make a "complete" visual in the smallest of rooms.
The first two lines, I moved, I saw breeze, I saw all the rainbow of greens.
I was disappointed in the last line. One can assume you love trees, why bother to give it subject. What can you tell me about tall trees I wouldn't know if you didn't paint me a picture you started so well.

The tall trees do sway
Their colors mesmerize me
I love the tall trees

I like this simple poem about trees written in 5-7-5 format for this contest. If I may make a suggestion: I would get rid of the repetition of "tall trees" in the last line as you already mentioned tall trees in the first line, and think of something else to make the poem stronger.
Like maybe "dancing in the wind" -Just a suggestion.
Best to you in the contest.
Blessings,
Anabella
