A very well-written 5-7-5 poem about the rose bush that provides blooms in colorful pink petals like splashes of love from Mama's rose garden.

-Lovely image and
nice presentation.
-The syllable count is good,
and the imagery and
alliteration are effective.
-You show how special
this garden is with
"petals of patience" and
"splashes of love."
-A very good concluding line, too.
-Good luck in the contest.

I love a good haiku, because they are so difficult to work with so few syllables and really transforms one's perspective by saying something relatable or ironic or a fresh view of some everyday thing. Your haiku is sweet, but to my ear at least, does not accomplish these criteria. But write on!

    It is NOT a haiku. Sorry your eye does not read contest prompts before reviewing... thank you.
reply by JP Writer on 27-Feb-2020
    Wait. Isn't haiku 5-7-5? What a I missing? Whatever it's called, I did read the contest prompt. What I did not do was count your syllables correctly. I checked thrice, and kept coming up with 6. So I apologize and will adjust the rating.

    This is a 5-7-5 poetry contest, NOT a haiku contest. Yes, there is a difference. Thank you.
