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.

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.

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. ^^

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.
