fictionluvr 2008-06-08 ch 5,	abuseThis describes perfectly what I think of when I think of daisies too.
fictionluvr 2008-06-08 ch 4,	abuseMy sister's favorite.
miscellanea 2008-06-06 ch 8,	abuseoh these were so cute and nice to read! i thoroughly loved them - my favorite one was the tulips.
laughing in her sleep 2008-05-29 ch 6,	abusei so love these! i'd read each one and be amazed at how well you dscribed their character and some of it i hadn't thought of before, but then it made sense and seemed to go with the flower perfectly. very nice poems!! :]
BlackestOpal 2008-05-25 ch 6,	abuseThese are beautiful. I love all of them, but my favourite was the first one about Roses. They are cliché, but they still mean so much.
dragonflydreamer 2008-05-24 ch 6,	abuseReviewing for the Review Marathon! (link in profile) This one is very lovely. I loved all of the descriptions in this one. The alliteration in the beginning was amazing, too. It works particularly well at the beginning because it captures the reader's attention. I honestly can't think of any concrit for this one other than my earlier comment about punctuation, but you said it's not really your style so I won't push it. I love all the ones you've posted so far. Please update this soon!
dragonflydreamer 2008-05-24 ch 5,	abuseI love your descriptions in this one. The first line, especially is my favorite. "Kissed by the sunlight." Very beautiful personificaion. It still seems like you're stretching to meet the 7 syllable criteria in the second line, though. The word "most" doesn't really seem to fit in at the beginning there. Maybe "such" instead? But of course it's your poem, so don't let me butcher it. Great job!
dragonflydreamer 2008-05-24 ch 4,	abuseReviewing for the Review Marathon! (link in profile) This was an interesting flower to pick. I'm one of those freaky people who tries to find symbolism in everyday things, but I've never really thought of tulips in a symbolic or poetic way. I really love your last line "beauty's lullaby." It's a very beautiful phrase, expecially at the end of your haiku. However, I wasn't very fond of the word "standing" in the second line. The whole thing is so flowing and poetic, and then this word is just... blunt, I guess is the word. This still came out quite nice, though!
dragonflydreamer 2008-05-23 ch 3,	abuseI think this is my favorite one yet! Lilies have always been one of my favorite flowers. I have never seen them more beautifully portrayed before. The combination of the innocence and the hidden death is amazing.
dragonflydreamer 2008-05-23 ch 2,	abuseI'm finally back! This one is very nice. You conveyed a lot about how you feel about roses in this short fomat. I especially love your first line. It's a very unique interpretation of roses.
Needa S 2008-05-02 ch 5,	abuseBeautifully done. Write on.
Samana 2008-04-28 ch 3,	abusewonderful word choice the imagery is wonderfully complexly concise great haiku
dragonflydreamer 2008-04-27 ch 1,	abuseSee? I told you I'd review ^.^ This sounds like a very interesting idea for haikus. There's a manga series I read that has a lot to do with symbolism in flowers, and it was a very effective in the story. Imagine what poetry about it can do! Your first one is very lovely. I like the line "a bouquet full of cliches." Roses do always seem to be used as a cliche for romance, but sometimes you've just got to love old chliches like that. You expressed that very well. It would be nice if this had a bit more grammatical structure. Perhpas coherant sentences and some punctuation. I know it's a bit hard to do in haiku format, but it does help the haiku to sound more like a complete thought and less like a cluster of words that have a certain amount of syllables, you know? I think this came out nicely, though. I look forward to seeing your interpretation of other flowers.
