Another with 14 reviews! We must do something about this on the cusp of "Revognized" situatuon!

Love the "p-b" alliteration in the first two lines!

    Thank you, Karenina. I do the same for folks on here. Some of us don't have the freedom to review all day. I will in a couple of years.
    God bless,
    Steve.

    I miss days...weeks... but when I dive in to someone's portfolio I love to find those that need "just one more"

    Same here! I work a to many hours, and find I have little quality of life. But, when I do, I love to read and write.

Superb word economy and what a fine paired alliteration of B and PO ()cousin sounds) plus superb consonance of V and L and S. I have only one suggestion--to add an apostrophe on: bluebonnet's arrival

Prismatic and praise...nice echo of multiple phonetics.

Beautiful picture!
Floral ovation is an outstanding satori! Nice personification too.

Great entry for the contest.
Good Luck

Warm Smiles, rd

    Thank you Rama devi for the awesome review my friend. I will add the apostrophe for sure. They tend to allude me at times lol.

Hello Neonewman, Ohhh, the bluebonnets, forever loyal and true ... Man could take a lesson from nature. I love how the surrounding bouquet are welcoming the bluebonnets - lovely imagery. I especially like:

"floral ovation"

Beautifully, yet simply stated - very nice. As this is a contest entry, I wish you good luck. Keep the blue waters flowing. LateBloomer

A very well-written poem about flower gardens. It is always a pleasure to walk through a beautiful flower garden that is well kept.

An excellent 5-7-5 with some choice phrases:
Prismatic and ovation are what make this such
a good piece. I will be voting for this one. -Bill

Indeed a great time of season, nature illustrating changes and progression of events: all appealing thoughts. The writer selected "prismatic" keys all contained factors.

Prismatic set me wondering until I remembered how a prism bends the light and sets it up in its component parts, the rainbow. Some garden in the artwork, some gardener in the garden. This I think would be a scene long gone, reminiscent of March April rather than July August. Would this be Texas in bloom? Surprising what one can learn on FanStory.

    Thank you Pantygynt for the excellent review. They do actually bloom around April and May, sometimes(if the winter was light)they will bloom as early as February. This is not the time of the year for anything to grow around here with these triple digit temps.
    God bless!
