Well written. Format was followed and each line engaged the subject matter. Not always easy to do on the short styles of poetry. Loved the photo.

Well you pop up with something special and in your own style. Three lines and you express so much. Even without the image this would bring a glorious visual to all of the flower-power poets. lol The image is just so perfect, did you find the image first, as the words seem to complete the image, and vice versa. I love your word use of "prismatic" and your 'p' and 'b' alliteration, 'a' assonance, 's' consonance and the clever use of near sounds of "bouquets/bluebonnets". Just glorious and a perfect entry for the contest. I wish you the best of luck. Hugs - Lovi xoo

    What a great way to start my morning! Good morning Lovi and thank you for this most inspiring six star review! I do enjoy the challenges these short pieces present, I suppose this is why they are my favorite. I wanted to craft this piece around bluebonnets as they are native to our area. When I found this pic I was easily inspired. Your glowing review has certainly set the tone for me today.
    God bless!

    Hi Steve

    I feel you should be the winner here, though not everyone appreciates how much goes into a three line poem. Sigh! I just love this ... I love flower gardens ... what can I say, the best in the contest. imho. Hugs - Lovi xoxo

Beautiful presentation, with a spectacular picture and carefully chosen words to convey a "floral ovation". I love this poem. It goes so well with the picture. Isn't nature beautiful? I love the word "prismatic" to define bouquets. Thanks for brightening up my night.
Peace, Jesse
