An excellent presentation portraying this beautiful, graceful flower which also symbolises your faith. I enjoyed the lines: grass teased, tousled by wind and the imagery contained within them. Ticks all the boxes with the septolet. Well done, Debbie

Great choice of words and I like the opening "Faith blooms blue" which with the picture gives us the promise of blooms fulfilled in the blue irises. Congratulations on your second place win!!

Poem is displayed colorful with the image of irises. We will see blooming flowers soon, grass that will blow in the wind and will definitely will greet every creature on this earth.

A soft and gentle septolet with a very nice presentation. It brings spring and new life to mind. I like the inclusion of faith and grace. Best wishes for your entry.

This is a lovely nature poem except the poem is supposed to be two stanzas with seven lines total. Best wishes to you.
I love the words tousled by wind.

    Thank you for your kind review. On my computer it shows up as 7 lines. Stanzas are separated with a space that does not count as a line in most poetry contests. Sometimes readers say something else is showing up on their computer or phone screens.

    Yes, now it shows up as seven lines, a beautiful poem.

    I would give you six stars but did not have that option.

    Sure thing! These computers and phones sometimes have a mind of their own, it seems.

This is an unusual form and it sounds more like a free-write as there is no rhyming here, I enjoyed the colourful blooms here and I wish you luck with the contest, love Dolly x

love septolet poems!

this was a beautiful image

one suggestion i might make is to maybe use the 'lamp black' background colour and a light blue for one stanza and a yellow for the other stanza... just a thought you can kick around!


thank you for sharing and good luck in the contest!

    Thank you for your great review! I might try more color combinations another day on longer poems. Good idea.

I liked this poem, this was clever! It's near impossible to write a poem that short, and you did really good! I also love the picture! Also quick but important thing, your soul. Have you ever looked at a beautiful painting and thought that the painting painted itself? No, of course not, the painting means there must be a painter. Now imagine every sunrise, sunset, mountain, atom in your body, all your family and friends. Can you imagine that making itself? No of course not there had to have been a someone, a God, to create that. And no matter how good of a person you think you are, you have sinned against that God. But there is still hope for you, that's why Jesus died on the cross for you, yes you. Repent of your sins and trust in Jesus and he will replace your heart of stone for a heart of flesh. I'm not exactly the height of knowledge on the topic, so I would highly recommend that for more information you go to Living Waters on YouTube, please just watch one video and you won't regret it. Alright have a nice day, God bless!
