What are the rules governing cinquains? As I don't know how they work, I thought this was a touch... flat?

Happy, bright, ripe feeling.


Change this, I think.


Berries,
Red, purple


... I liked this. :D

This cinquain is rather cute. ;) The last two lines there are the ones that sound off. Particularly "ripe feeling". It just doesn't blend. Fruit isn't a nice way to end either. I think this would go nice for a sunny day cute poem. I don't know, but I feel like replacing "fruit" with "eat". Hahah. Just a matter of opinion. But it would do well to alter those last two lines. The first three are good enough. ^^

Fye.

It is nice. By saying "ripe feeling" do you mean that the berries feel physically ripe, or thay transmit a sense of "ripeness" along with the happiness which I think you are saying they convey? If it's the former, I think I'd try, "Ripe-feeling." I'm not altogetehr sure about this line as a whole, it seems a little ambiguous. I also think "Fruit" at the end was a let-down. Maybe try something a little more abstract?
Overall, I liked this, feeling it to be vivid, and you managed the form with ease.

Oh, but was this an exercise in cinquians, or an exercise in berries? Either way, I'd experiment with either cinquians, or berry-poetry, to see what happens.
