Daffodils are so beautiful in springtime. Just the lightness of your poem and the expression of a gala highlights the evening's scenarios. Kids love to smell the lakeside's beauty.

Likening infants to bright, lively daffodils bobbing in the sun is an excellent piece of description. Even the fascination with water would hold true. Kate xx

I really like this Kouta prompt poem. Is it Japanese Short Form??? None the less, children are so much like daffodils. Full of energy and light and ready "romp" and dance. Very nice piece.

    I am so pleased you like my Kouta and my analogy to boisterous children. The sponsor says it is a Japanese form related to the haiku.

Your poem about daffodils works well in this style. Your words show creativity and created an image. I enjoyed it. The picture is a perfect match for the theme. Good luck on the contest.

It is so disappointing to me when the pic doesn't match the words but when our creator makes daffodils such a vibrant yellow. . .how can any camera or artist even begin to touch the richness of color? It always feels like liquid sunshine to me. I really love your poem, the words flow beautifully. Best of luck.

This poem, Springtime Celebration, finds the scene blanketed with daffodils which shine brightly, sing sweetly, and help the viewers feel great serenity. Nice.

Some great scenic affirmation here, the thought of a "crowd" of daffodils gathered together to celebrate is a very cool idea, and really like the way you've written, this, well done, blessings Roy
