This is a relatable 3-5-3 entry. The text is clear and large. The syllable count seems to be on point. The message is stated well. The visual fits perfectly. Good luck in the contest.

I love dandelions.
Excellent entry for the 3-5-3 'Air' Poem writing prompt Contest. Good syllables count and connection between lines. You grasped the 3/5/3 form well. Nice presentation. Your descriptive words flow well expressing clear mental imagery.
Good luck in the contest.

Comment from GARY MACLEAN
I used to search for fluffy dandelions just so I could do what your picture is portraying. FYI the fluff, blowing in the wind, has been thought to symbolize letting go of the past and embracing the new beginning.
Very nostalgic verse. Nice

Hi, Gary. I think blowing dandelion fluff has a lot of different meanings, depending on how old you are. I truly appreciate your sharing my poem.
-
The meaning is the same as beauty, it's all in the eye/mind of the beholder. There are probably many, many different meanings. The one i quoted was just one I found online.

As children my siblings and I would do that every year. Your poem made me think of fun memories with them. It warms the heart. The picture compliments your words. Together they make a great presentation.

Stunning photo, and the words are a fine choice to accompany it, capturing the simple pleasures of childhood but incorporating them into the topic. Well done. Best wishes.

I love how the wind carries the dandelions over the field near my home. A lovely offering in the short verse form for the contest and aptly illustrated.
Sending you my best today as always, and best wishes for the upcoming contest,
Sally :))

The back garden has been full of fluffy Dandelion umbrellas these last few days - it's been great fun watching them. You did a great job for this prompt and I very much enjoyed the read.

I am delighted you enjoyed my shortie, Mike. It is indeed fun watching neighborhood kids blow the fluff of dandelions.
Comment from Carolyn Dooley
It is amazing how little things depicted in the picture get our attention. As a child, this was one of my favourite things to do. The woods were filled with those dandelions. It would next to blowing soap bubbles. Thank you for sharing.

Yes, dandelions were everywhere (few people used weedkiller) back then when we were kids. Many thanks for sharing my poem.

Thank you. You are welcome.

This is a good entry in this lune 3/5/3 poetry contest, unfortunately there are only two syllables in the first line, PURSED is only one syllable, my suggestion is "PURSED LIPS BLOW" three syllables. It's the sounds of syllables. But good luck dear friend, blessings Roy

My pleasure, all of us make mistakes, good luck.

I changed ?pursed? to ?puckered.?

Yep. That will do it
