The orange sun sets in the east
A fresh blowing breeze
Trees sway in the wind
Putting our minds at ease
Clear crystal drops of dew
Sparkle in the light
Short green blades of grass
Glisten ever so bright
Robins and sparrows twitter loudly
Rabbits scamper across the grass
Squirrels run excitedly
And rain puddles shimmer like glass
A rainbow of flowers dazzles us
River flows ever so swift
Violet Dawn is the greatest
nature's most wonderful gift

This is such a beautiful and peaceful poem. It is such a treat when we can see the purple in the sky before sunrise. Your rhyming is excellent too.
Good luck in this contest!

you really do so well with the rhyme and nature writes. this is a really great one especially as the imagery is really topnotch. i have never seen a violet dawn but this piece lets me imagine what i could expect from one. again, you have done so very well.

Another beautiful vision of nature you have presented to us again Susan! There were some suggestions I thought to put to you below, which I hope will be helpful if you are planning to revise any parts.
I thought that since the image is so silhouetted, that more of the dark/shadow could've been presented in this poem - to balance and contrast the colour of the violet dawn etc., and so the poem most reflects the image above (but only if it was your intention for it to do so).
You used "grass" in two stanzas here, which I felt stole away from you an opportunity to work with a line that would've enabled you to present another, different image, fresher for removing the grass-repetition.
"A rainbow of flowers dazzle us" ... rainbow is singular, therefore dazzle should be "dazzles", as although you are speaking of flowers, which are plural, you have presented them in a singular body - the rainbow.
Again in the final line, "gift" should be "gifts", because you are speaking of a range of nature's gifts. To keep it in the singular "gift", you could end the line before it with a semi-colon, and have the last line as: "nature's most wonderful gift".
I always love your nature and rhyme pieces, and it's always good to see another - they remind me of our international chats about the weather back in 2005-06 when I lived in Cornwall! I'd love to see you write more of nature but working in freeverse or other forms, as I recall you wrote a rather good freeverse poem not long ago. I think you would like a form called Monotetra - google it and have a go
Hope this critique helps matey

Sis, this verse is wonderfully serene. Imagery puts one right in the moment.
Constructive:Second stanza: I would reverse the words "clear " and "crystal: for a better flow.
Last stanza: Shorten the word "ever" to e'er" as this will keep the syllables even in the first and last line.
I would not change a word of this well written poem, just adjust.
Love,
Meleesa
