Good flow and imagery.

I enjoyed your poem very much. It created a perfect image in my imagination. I just recently wrote my first 5-7-5 poem and have a greater appreciation how difficult it can be to create the mood and image you want with so few words.

This is beautiful. The peony is one of favourite flower bushes, along with hydrangea and rhododendrons! Your presentation gives the reader the dose of pretty pink that is promised in the title! Perfect syl. count. Good luck in this contest.

I love peonies and can't wait to see them in Spring. Spring feels like a long way off. You have described these flowers well and your syllables are perfect for the requirements. Good luck to you in this contest:)

Beautiful descriptive language. The thought of wildly decadent pink petals boggles the mind. It sets up images of wild parties thrown by the Chief flower . A particularly imaginative contest entry! It fulfils the poetic requirements! Blessings, Roy.

Your poem is concise but relates a good message
and an appreciation for the beauty of the peony.
Peonies make my garden a perfect setting for a
wedding. Good luck in the contest.

Oink flowers are decadent. Love the image and feel of your words. You give these pink flowers character,they are alive and are a strong presence.

I'm not a flower person but after the winter we've had I'm excited to seeing the flowers soon. They bring hope that spring is on it's way

    I know, right, is every one done with winter in the Midwest or not? Spring will come, and thank you for the review.

Good haiku on display here. The nature theme is obvious, and nicely selected, may I add. But, I think the quality lies in your carefully selected words. You don't get much freedom with these formats, so I admire what poets like yourself can do with 17 syllables.

peony petals: nice use of alliteration

explode in wild abandon: active voice, with great imagery about the immediacy of a flourishing floral display

perfect decadence: the pinky princess imagery of the colour and the profusion of growth suggests just that; excess, but it's nice.

Good writing; terrific presentation with art work and colour for the background.

    This is a fabulous review, and I'm so glad you can see how I struggle for the right words and images. In these short forms I want to present a "snap shot" of my thought.
