For Tania Kitchin's You're a flower in my garden poetry contest - personifcation

I greet the mild sun, as it ascends among peach and lilac hues. Its golden rays caress pearly dewdrops, resting upon my verdant leaves. My conical purple and pink petals stand tall against dawn's breeze, as I gently sway, dancing to nature's timeless rhythm. I can hear the sweet call of the Chickadees, as cheeky chipmunks raid brimming bird feeders. Some claim I am controversial and invasive, but I am a beacon of resilience - a haven for bees and butterflies.

SO, there are some in my family who love lupini beans. There are a lot of varieties, and yes, some are invasive. The flowers you describe are beautiful. It's a sweet poem.

Such a beautiful choice. I love the name and the colours. "dancing to nature's timeless rhythm." The flowers never get exhausted from that rhythm. Lovely written as always Silent.

a personification that is done very well this is, i love the picture youv used and also how youv described this flower in such a picturesque manner. So creatively captivating and so breathtaking! You give poetry a whole new flavor that is worth all the accolades. I love the opening lines, very straightforward, as you start with “ i greet the sun” a flower that loves the sun i can imagine, as i read that. And i love also how youv written “ My conical purple and pink petals stand tall” gorgeous

“ I can hear the sweet call of the Chickadees, as cheeky chipmunks raid brimming bird feeders.” love that too! So well woven and so soulfully divine! You, a gardener definitely would connect with flowers and the essence of their ethereal being! Pleasure reading this personification! Best wishes for the contest

Awesome ode my friend: Its golden rays caress pearly dewdrops, resting upon my verdant leaves. My conical purple and pink petals stand tall against dawn's breeze, as I gently sway--simply beautiful!

Dear Silent One your poem revolves around the plant's intricate bond with its environment, including the sun's shine, dewdrops' charm, birds' songs, and insects' motions. Also, it explores the plant's inherent traits and reason. The poem is packed with vivid imagery, capturing the vibrant colors and elegant shifts of the plant. Including evocative terms like "gentle sun," "gilded beams," "lush foliage," and "conically-shaped petals in shades of purple and pink" vividly depicts the plant's setting.

a delightful personification poem that captures the beauty of the lupines. When I look out my living room window and gaze across the county road to the open fields, I see what looks like hundreds of lupines swaying the warm spring breeze. They are mesmerizing. Best wishes with the contest, Silent One. Have a pleasant day, Sara

Dear Silent One, This is a lovely tribute to the lupines. Their shapes look like a miniature tree. You must have woken up in a flower bed or how else did you get in the lupines head? LOL I just had to say that..
