    Are multiple blooms of different specimens (species)
    from Israel beautiful orchids
    to the orange sweetheart rose.

    Straight away this poem is crying out for punctuation. Make me stop on the possiblities, make me think about Israeli orchids, what do they look like?
    From where do the roses originate?

    they form a multi-colorful chain -mullti-coloured/colored

    to form a gerbora bouquet - gerbera

    Moon-shadow carnations kisses the orchids - kiss (carnation has the pluralisation and so kiss does not require it)

    You don't have to vote if you don't like it. - I hate that you put this, it infers that you only want votes of 4 or 5 which skews how good, or bad, this poem really is. If you're happy to accept a high vote, be happy to take a 1, 2 or 3. A vote is not going to make your poem any better, but only soothe your ego and no real poet is bothered about that.

    Despite the various mistake I have pointed out this is a unique poem that touches on areas that many do not. The only thing I don't like about it is again you're telling me what is visible, not showing me what it looks like.

    Again, punctuation will help direct the reader and aid the flow of the poem, which is a little sticky at the moment.

    Ooo. I kept myself interested in this poem. I don't usually throughout a nature poem. I normally have to read it through 3 or 4 times to fully understand and appreciate it. I didn't have to here. =)

    I loved it! ^_^ There was so much imagery used, and the structure was original enough for me. >.< The thing that got me the most was the huge words used in the piece. =P I'm not stupid, it's just...the words are so big xD. But I guess it's better to have a few large words that say a lot than having lots of little words that just barely finish the poem. If you know what I mean. =) 5/5 xoxo

    Ah..... Lety,

    I have not voted for this poem because where I come from the vegetation that you have described is not familiar and hence I may not be a person who can enjoy the visionary in your poem to it's full extent.

    Please punctuate, it would add so much more meaning to your words and also chcek for spelling before you submit. The ending is ok, but could have been more pleasant and emotional.

    I think the beginning should be much more pleasant for such a wondeful poem. You should begin with a sunrise or a sunset. Sunrise is more relevant due to "toursenol".

    The line "From Israel beautiful orchids" should read "From Israel's beautiful orchids " or "From beautiful Israel orchids".

    In the second stanza, the line "are breathtakingly beautiful" adds no real value and the word beautiful is a repitition and also seems odd to the line.

    "Toursenol" ?? I know that sunflower and a few others do toursenol, but do orchids and roses toursenol?? I am not sure, just check up on it and verify the logical integrity of the poem.

    Moon-shadow carnations kisse the orchids
    ((Kiss))

    I loved this. I useually hate poems that don't rhyme, for the flow seems broken, but this had a great flow to it. I'll be honest, I didn't follow half of the flower names, but it was still beautifully written. Great job.

    It was hard for me to follow through! But you used alot of words that made me go runing to the dictionary. so 5/5

    Here's my critique: I love the images and your word choice. My favorite line was,
    "Moon-shadow carnations kiss the orchids
    at the end of each wonderful day."

    There were some spots that could have had better transition.
    In the first Stanza, you started out beautifully, but in the line
    "are multiple blooms of different species" The Use of "Are" breaks the flow and the emotion.
    Keep it up!^-^

    I really enjoyed reading this poem. even your title grabbed me. and i don't usually go for a title. haha!! well anyways. the only problem i had in reading it was in this line.

    are breathtakingly beautiful

    i think if you change the wording a bit and find a nother word for beauitufl it would flow better.
