You have done a good job in conveying the state of mind that one is in when traipsing out through Mother Nature's realm. Nice picture to go with the poem.

Yes, breathing in the smell of trees and other smells of mother nature's majesty soothes souls most definitely. I love the title and the picture that displays how beautiful nature in the woods can be. This is wonderfully written and tells so well how breathing in the odor of nature can bless our souls.
Jesse

Well done. I don't think the ellipses are necessary. See the example for cinquain, not that they can't be, but they hang like smoke from a fire, as to my thinking, which may be valueless.

Very nice.
The photo sets it off wonderfully. It makes you stop and take a breath.
It is peaceful and calming. Something the world needs right now.
Good luck in the contest.
