    I liked this, I thought you used the form really well and created some lovely images although it is also nice that you took a picture of your inspiration. I loved your ending two lines, I thought that was so gentle and lovely. This piece made me smile and it was very refreshing to read. Great Work x

    You`ve done better !

    Check your
    syllable count
    in line three and line eight
    I found five syllables each line
    Cinquain
    is spelled with a 'q' not a 'g'
    What have you been smoking
    from your garden?
    Gunsha?

    Gunsha: The phonetic equivalent to marijuana in the Orient.

      Thanks for pointing out the errors on my syllable counts, I have corrected them. Must be smoking the same thing you are when you try to rhyme. Haha.
