A very well-written 5-7-5 nature poem about the sun rays early morning bring a special radiance to the flowers that seem to make them dance in the warm morning light.

Your words fit smoothly with the beautiful image, Mystery Author. That image looks to be a forsythia to me. Great job with the contest prompt. Your syllable count is correct per line. Your message brings much hope at this scry time worldwide. Yes, the sun rising is the start of a new day and hopefully all will be better than the day before. Thanks for sharing and best wishes.
Respectfully, Jan

Hello Author,
You've written an excellent 5-7-5 poem for the contest
with very nice imagery of the nature.
Haiku normally doesn't is capitals other than proper nouns,
has only two grammatically connected lines, and doesn't use personification.
Example below:

bright sun rose today
with resplendent golden rays--
yellow flowers bloom

The choice is always yours.
Good luck in the contest.
Robert

This is a short and sweet Haiku and an excellent contest entry. Your words are well chosen and the picture of flowers is an ideal complement to the poem. Thanks for sharing this one.

Your poem gives imagery to a beautiful morning. Flowers
dance as all of nature responds to the energy of the sun.
Your haiku is light and refreshing.
Peace,
Richie b.

This work has reached the exceptional level

Impressive! Did you noticed your beautifully use of words? You called the sun 'our' (giving it the human family), you tagged it as 'golden' (and usually,the colour of the sun is golden), the use of resplendent ( bright and beautiful) and 'ray'(bright too). With all these features of the sun, the flowers couldn't help but dance ( rejoicing) cos it's gonna come out more beautiful. I love every detail.

What is a more splendid way to start the day but SUNSHINE on flowers. "Resplendent" is a great choice of words, an adjective I don't see very often .I also like how you personified the flowers dancing. Rod

I like the association of property upon the celestial body - our sun - that makes the plants grow under its blessing rays. Thank you for sharing and good luck with the contest.

I love the flowers' response to the rising sun with resplendent golden rays. No matter their style of dance, I love that they're dancing.

Excellent entry for the Nature 5-7-5 contest.
