Comment from Pearl Edwards
Love the finishing couplet with comparison to our lives, if you put down roots your life could bloom. Lovely rhyming couplets and the fluttering flowers are gorgeous. Makes me feel I'm sitting amongst them.
cheers.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written poem about the waving flowers in the breeze, we call these little flowers 'cosmos' that seems to start blooming here in the fields just before autumn and originates from the British troops that bring the seeds here somehow during WWII.

Nicely done rhyming couplets and it is so true we can bloom but first we have to realize we are planted. Love the rhyming endings and the message given to us

This was a good read, Bucketlist. I loved that it started as a nice piece about flowers then ended with a strong message at the end of it. Good job.

I adore those dancing flowers. Your poem expresses lovely sentiments, and as someone who is now living in a different country to where I was born, this poem spoke to me of blooming in a different location and still flourishing, or another idea is that children leave home and settle away from the parents, as you have said in the second set.
I got a little bit troubled when reading to lose the rhythm a bit and it is because the syllable count varies, sometimes 8, sometimes 9, and even 11. Your third couplet is fine (both 9 syllables), but I have made some suggestions in the following adaption, because it would flow better if all the lines had a syllable count of 9. Your last couplet's end rhyme was not quite a match, but I can see what you were trying to describe. However, to make a better match I had to change the words more than you might like.
I apologise if you think I have overstepped your creative vision, but I started to look at your poem as if it was mine, and those were the sort of changes that I would do to my own lines.
Flowers gently waving in the breeze
Their seeds go wherever they do please
While the parent plant is rooted here
their seeds become seedlings far or near
Brighten the days with colors diverse
Live in one place, together immerse
Cycle's repeat wherever they start
We too can bloom in anyone's heart

Life of flowers is somewhat dispersal from the roots, unlike ours, not always and everywhere, appears free within limitations; well said, well done. Thank you for sharing. Keep Writing Inspire Changing -- DR ALCREATOR

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
These wild flowers are delightful and have a gentleness about them, your poem does them justice Trisha, their seeds certainly spread quickly and often referred to as weeds, love Dolly x

Hello Trisha,
This is a very pleasant poem of rhymed couplets.
It rained here all days, but then those flowers need rain, too.
Lovely imagery of the emergence of spring flowers
and an excellent gif to match.
Nicely done
Robert
