Hi, I so love this, your little 5'7'5 poem on your lilac poem. I can see the bulb open up. Perfect 5'7'5 syllable count across all lines. Strong contender. I wish you luck in the contest.

Great job
Good Luck

Regards
Tia

Thanks for the insightful review. Seeing and smelling the lilacs after 22 years of missing spring in Africa was indeed magical. Cheers, j
