This five - seven - five is about those ever-popular morning glories that seem to climb from the most remote places to brighten up even the most drab area that they seem to position themselves.

Blue glory resembles blue geraniums that smile praises it's true. Thanks for sharing your little flowery poem and entering the contest.

This is an inspired choice of flower for this 5-7-5 poem. You've made it in praise of God: Smiles praise to Maker
Suggested the plants deliberate movement towards Heaven:Entwined vines of splendor rise
... and personalised it with the flower's greeting:Good Morning Glory

Great artwork and presentation complete a great read. I'm going out to look at my Morning Glory now.

    You must live in a far warmer climate than I do, my Morning Glory won't be out for months. I so enjoyed your review, thank you for taking the time. :-)

    Tis one hundred and twenty two degrees outside today. That's hot, even for Adelaide.

    It is about 10 degrees here tonight. , 122 is definitely a hot climate. I'm not familiar with Adelaide but I will look it up to see where you are :-). Stay cool if you can. :-) Carolyn

Compliments for great choice of flower, good use of alliteration and assonance, nice pun in first line, and connection with praising the Creator in last. It would read smoother this way: Good Morning Glories' / Entwined vines of splendor rise / Smiling Maker's praise".

    You may be right about that, I will take a look at pluralizing the write.

You nailed the easy part, the syllable count, but reads like three separate story titles. I think you wrote to the picture; and you're depending on the picture to make a connection.

This is a lovely 5-7-5 flower. Beautiful picture and your words praise its beauty as well as the glory of another day granted by the Maker.

Very lovely!

I love morning glories. I had a whole trellis full until we moved the dog into the back yard. LOL. Very nicely done, Anon, and I thank you for joining the prompt. Only two things I need to remind you of...no author's notes please, just for this prompt. And in your description line, "Contest Entry" only. Other than that, very nice work...beautiful artwork, and expertly worded. Good luck to you!! :)MW

The poem is as good as the picture and the picture is awesome! The idea of a morning glory as a prayer is not unique, but your articulation of that sentiment is heartfely=t and profound. Thanks
