The author's poem has several dimensions. That is, Dawn's early dewdrops creates a sense of urgency, as we know the sun will soon evaporate the moment...dangling from spider webs underscores the urgency and creates a mental picture, as if the drops are trying to escape...and the classic Glittering like Diamonds works well to emphasize the purity. All the senses have been engaged with the exception of taste.

Very Nice,

Herman

    Well, I WISH could have included taste, AS I do love including all senses. But the form is to short,none the less this is a fabulous review thank you so much.

I think the image of dewdrops on spiders' webs provide the inspiration to write poems, as I've seen a couple like this. It's pretty and you've captured the quality of the morning dew well in your lines 'glittering like diamonds,' for example. I like walking out in the countryside on mornings like the one you've described. Good luck with the contest.

Lovely images here, you clearly convey the pictures you wish to create. Your words are a clear echo of the artwork.
I enjoyed the repeated "D" sounds which evokes the pendent quality of the drops and the hard "G" sounds which emphasize the glitter.
Your last line needs a rewrite, for the purpose of the contest it requires 8 syllables, and only has 6.
Well done, I've altered your star grading accordingly.

Absolutely beautiful. I like the way you describe those dewdrops, "dangling from spiderwebs, glittering like diamonds." Nice description of dew. It flows well, and the words really shine.

Oh this is such a pretty poem. It is delightful!
I love how you play with 'G' and 'D' sounds using assonance and consonance.Your chosen artwork enhances your writing perfectly.My only suggestion , if you don't mind would be to make 'Springtime'- Springtime's and drop the speech marks as they are not necessary.A lovely, well written poem.

    Thank you so much Eliza, and I did debate Springtime's when I wrote and I think your right I will make that change. And even though I agree with you on the quotes, that is the way this form is set up. Your review means a great deal to me thank you.

A perfect picture of dew in your clarity poem. Each line describes dew in different ways. Wish they were the diamonds they glitter like. Very well written poem. Good luck in the contest.

I'm getting a real education in poetic forms here - I've only read a few of these "clarity pyramids" but so far yours is my favorite! Good luck in the competition - so far you have my vote!
