Comment from Jacob1395

Excellent

I liked how you covered the different meaning each flower has, it is fascinating the meaning we associate with things in nature. I thought this was well written and I enjoyed reading it.

Short and sweet. I enjoyed your response to the club challenge. And I love flowers and have always been fascinated by the language of flowers. Well done.

Excellent

I'm a bit overwhelmed by all of the types of poems that I'm finding on Fanstory. I had never heard of an "atom poem". I think it would be difficult to write. (I don't quite understand the last stanza.) Thank you for the introduction!

Hi C O.
Thanks for reading and reviewing. I will check out the last stanza. The Pen to Paper Potlatch club give a new one every week. Also you can find a lot of types on shadowpoetry.com.

This is another new kind of poetry for me. It's interesting that it's the letters that are counted rather than syllables or words. I like your artwork, a great complement to the poem. The descriptions of the flowers are very good and match them well. Nicely done!

Comment from Patty Mazzurco

Excellent

Your poem presents a deep and thought-provoking reflection on themes of fate, identity, and history. The language is rich and layered, which lends a strong sense of gravity to the subject matter. The imagery of being "written in God's annals" and "transplanted as eternity's lost mage" is powerful, evoking a sense of timeless struggle and transformation.

Patty, I think this review was meant for some other poem. This poem is about flowers and their meaning.

I enjoyed your Atom poem, Joan and the different flowers and the meanings and feelings behind them. I've never heard that about pansy's before, I just think they have lovely little faces. Nice one Joan,

Joan,
I like your poem using flowers to portray emotions. It's especially good because of the letter count restrictions.
Great images and emotions, Joan.
Best wishes,
Cindy

I must admit I am not a writer of poetry, so I can't comment on the rules or proper usage of such. I shall just say I enjoyed reading about how the flowers affect you.

Hi Carol,
Thanks for the encouraging comments. Glad you enjoyed the poem.

Comment from Jesse James Doty

Excellent

This depicts the different flowers and how they make you feel. I like each descending verse until the last one where the words you use, Array feeling by bud, don't make sense. Otherwise, this excellent piece shows how you feel whenever you think about a different flower.
Have a lovely week.
Jesse

Comment from Marilyn Hamilton

Excellent

Another format i have never heard of before. The Atom poem sounds like something fun to try. You did a lovely job on yours here. That's quite a change from syllables to letter count. I like it. Thanks for sharing.
