Our back yard is lined with rose of Sharon bushes, so I know what you mean in this sweet 5-7-5 poem, Donna. It presents a pretty picture, which I enjoyed.

I like it! Each line has a nice flow, that carries over to the next. There is one thing is the picture you chose that of a rose? I can't tell. Good luck in the contest.

A very lovely piece this is. Hard to write a short and strictly formatted piece, an convey your thoughts but you have done a good job. Very well chosen words.

I don't know if I can match mine with yours--or any where equalling--this is lovely. Wonderfully done. It's well balanced and presented well. Kone

pink petals blowing
as soft raindrops gently taunt;
loveliness just smiles.


This is a beautiful poem. I love the flower in the rain, I can almost smell it's fragrance!

The rain drops must have provided a soothing relief. I liked the expression loveliness smiles. You sure had a poetic eye to watch it and describe it for us. our eyes wouldn't have noticed it.
