Such beautiful images your words conjure up in this 5-7-5 nature poem. Add to that the perfect artwork you've chosen to accompany your poem and you have a total picture. Nicely written.

The gray gloomy days of winter as the dirty snow fades away leaves us yearning for the fresh air, the brilliant colors of flowering buds opening, and of course, the fluttering winds of the butterflies. Beautiful!

Smiles, Carol

I thought you did a great job of sharing an image with just three lines. Wonderful word choices. You capture springtime and the lively dance of yellow swallow-tails. Great job.

And now you have me in spring mode! I can't wait. Lovely poem with butterflies and flowers. Nicely worded in a short format. Saucy and cavort are great word choices. Best of luck in the contest! Julie.

Unknown bard, this is what the originators (Japanese) had in mind for the haiku form: simplicity; to compress in a harmonious way, with a brevity of
words to capture acute feelings and insights. Precise observation and awareness of an object is garnered when limning it without frills: No caps, no rhyming, no punctuation unless proper nouns. Good luck in the contest

This is a well-crafted poem. The poem reads and flows well. Your 5-7-5 syllable count is in good order for this writing prompt. Each line connecting well with the next. Good complimentary picture.
