weed on grassy slope so unpretentious in look~ with blooms, a marvel from derelict turf fair blossoms shyly peek out something amazing~ beauty springs from hidden coves giving sweet surprise to all

Poetic writing characterizes the springtime. During that season, the sky and trees take on amazing colors. Congratulations on your podium win, dear Valsa.

Congratulations Valsa on your win in this contest with a lovely write singing the beauty of weeds which out of their place as in gardens become a nuisance. Wishing you an amazing coming new week.

Such a lovely reflection on hidden beauty. I love how you captured the quiet grace of something often overlooked—those little blooms from the weeds truly are nature’s humble miracles. Beautifully written!

Dearest Valsa, what a quiet wonder this piece is—so humble in tone yet profound in its message. You’ve beautifully captured the miracle of resilience, of unexpected beauty springing from the overlooked corners of life. That final line—“giving sweet surprise to all”—is like a gentle reminder to never underestimate what lies beneath the surface. Hugs

Lovely poetry, my lovely friend. Who decided what should be call a weed? Some blossom into beautiful blooms. We should enjoy things we see for what they are, isn't that what we want for others to do when looking at us? Blessings for sharing your poetic thoughts with us through your delightful poetry, Valsa. Hugs, Bill
