It makes sense and I enjoyed reading it. The only thing is that the word dwindle distracted me. Maybe it is the dots to hold the letters in their place. Comparing inspiration to blossoms is a unique idea and it worked very well.

"A bounteous tree embracing
flowers traced with hues
of my inspiration..."

This was a breathtaking opening, I loved the unique wording, it kept me reading and had me wanting more and more. I love the description of the tree, "bounteous". Beautiful opening...

I was very surprised with this "dwindle" part, I quite liked it thought, it fit well in the poem. Nice job with your creativity and imagination Temps!

"from a dull imagination--
until they reach the ground
void of emotion; motionless."

Wow, I am stunned so far by your words, not even kidding, and trust me, everything does make sense in my mind. I love how you give so many descriptions, just of everything around you.

"Soon I'm surrounded by
scattered blossoms--
that lack significance."

These were my favorite lines, I liked the style of this poem a lot, very refreshing to read. I want to say so much more, but I don't know what to say, I'm just speechless. That last line was perfect, it gives the reader far more than an idea of the blossoms, you just mesmerized me with this whole idea.

"Threading their fragile
petals together--hopeless
just like sculpting a poem."

I thought that out of all the stanzas, this one was the most unique. "Threading their fragile petals together", what flawless lines that hold so much meaning. I did like the simile at the end, nice work!

"The more blossoms that shed
from the tree of my imagination--
the less the creativity."

Excellent ending, you summed this up so very well. You had me wanting much much more. This is by far one of the best poems on here, not even kidding, and I know I have probably repeated myself many times!

Good job Temps, really this is going on my favorites, you are one fantastic poetess, keep it up!
