Well done on your original and imaginative poem for St Patrick's Day. It has a good rhythm and metre and the rhyme is smooth. Best wishes for your entry.

That's one cool looking flower. Your piece is well-edited and flows well, with no issues that I can see. The biggest opportunities to improve it mainly lie in the presentation.

You probably already know this, but these two lines are lacking the space between them that all your other lines have:

Pure Gold resides within this purse
A bounty of pure wealth

Color scheme: To match with the colors of your flower (as well as traditional St. Paddy's Day colors) I suggest using a darker green background, and white or gold lettering, with a larger font. The current color theme seems to have more like an aquamarine ocean vibe.

Thanks for sharing and happy St. Patricks Day!

Hi Harambe, thank you for the great review! I would have liked my presentation to be better with the spacing but the editor would not co-operate. At one time all the lines were joined together. This was the best I could achieve! I finally got to what you see now and was afraid to go any further. I appreciate your help though and will try to see if I can fix the problem. :o)

Believe me or not, that's up to you, but this is true, I chased a rainbow not too many years passed down a country road, and caught its tail running across my truck and that is how I debunk the fraud regarding a pot of gold being there, for there was only the brilliance of colors and nothing more.
A true story, I swear.

Yes it is a real plant! I changed some of the petal coloration to green but the yellow flower with red dots show the genuine colors of the flower. It's called a purse flower. I had a lot of problem posting the flower to go with the poem. I so wanted the two together so the vision of the poem could really be seen! I was so glad when I finally got it! Thanks so much for the wonderful review, Dolly! :o)

This was very silly and fun! I like seeing less popular holidays celebrated especially in such a creative way such as poetry. I think St Patrick day is VERY underrated and deserves more love🍀

HI Brenda, One of the artist on FAR inspired me to create the image which lead to the poem. I'm so glad you enjoyed! Thank you for the great review! :o)

You have a smooth poetic flow of words that creates a vivid fantasy of the flower that looks like a purse. Your words bring nature forth as well as a theme for St. Patrick's Day. Best wishes for the contest.

Very cleaver. I liked how the rhyming of the different stanzas played out. For the prompt about St. Patrick's day this really hit the mark. Keep on writing poetry you have talent.
