Coneflowers
3/6/9 Trio for Contest11 total reviews
Comment from Jill McCauslin
The three poems work well together. I like the transition from the flowers dropping petals to the ants underground to the water underground growing new flowers. I confess I've seen these flowers in lots of places but never really thought about them. Great job!

Comment from Andy Sea
A colourful poem of regeneration, I love how you've had the sensitivity and presence of mind to show how the waterlogged ants get an opportunity to ride the rain wave. Beautifully pictured and wonderful colour scheme for the font.

Congrats on your prize for this gorgeous poem. Stunning imagery--the ants riding rain-waves is star-worthy in itself. Glad I caught up to this one. Cheers. LIZ

Comment from juliaSjames
I like the way the poem cycles back to coneflowers at the end. Cycle of life.
Over all it's an enjoyable read, Gypsy. The beginning is all colourful drama which piques the reader's interest. A contrast to the silent underground nurturing trickle at the end.
Not quite sure about the second stanza. It's creative, anthills are conical like the coneflowers. And the sequence is right. But something's not working for me here. Can't put my finger on it or I would tell you.
Best wishes for the contest
Stay safe healthy and blessed

Thank you for the feedback, Julia. I would like all my poems to be perfect but it's a hit or miss thing. I'm okay with that. To me, I was picturing the raindrops going through stages as they go down ...flower...ants...soil

Smiles to you about your 6/ 3/ 6 poem
What make me smile, cause I have cornflowers as part of my flower garden. What makes me happy about them, they come up every year. For the past eighteen years

Comment from Gloria ....
Excellent entry into this contest, and what a beautiful job you have made of publishing. And each stanza illustrates the cycle of life and how those deeper things we don't see make something truly beautiful.
Wishing you great luck with the voters, Gypsy. :))

Comment from lyenochka
Gorgeous poem and botanical lesson all in one. And it gives me a deeper meaning, too. People can be beautiful on a surface level but deep inside, they could be growing and absorbing spiritual nutrients to continue to grow in beauty.

You always get the meaning of my poems and more....things I didn't think about. A lot of my poetry is intuitive. Thank you very much, my friend. I'm glad you like it. I always think of you when I write about flowers. I picture you in your garden.

You're so sweet to say that, Gypsy! 💖 Hope you do well in the contest!!
Comment from BeckyRae
Very well written, I love poems about nature. It reads easily and tells a lot about flowers in general. I like the part about the ants riding the rain wave.
