What's distracting to this unpracticed poetry reader is that
in these four lines you have three different descriptions of
the skirt of printed sunflowers.  So I slow down and ask
myself: why?  It would seem to sing more if you removed
"pastel" and "bright".  But you must have a reason for
putting those words in there.  I'm curious.  What is that
reason?
