Hi, @prydefoltz ☻ Thanks for hosting every week ♥

Here's my comment on your post:

It does look like fire. Both versions are awesome. I kind of prefer your mentioning the name of the flower, but that's just my thing for flower names.
.
Lovely hot, @prydefoltz

Begonias illuminated with beauty. Congratulations pryde.

succulent
could miss scent
of water

Both, beautiful! Gems!
If I must choose, I prefer the mystery offered by the first version. That vibrant metaphor that fills confusing connections with various associations, all with meaning in the magic of mastered haiku. Splendid, Pryde!

Only time heals sadness. Like the fallen leaves, they follow their course.

Very good composition that immerses us in the feeling of melancholy for a loss, for missing a presence.
Good job!

Hello, @oscarina

Here's my comment on your post:

Personal sadness and love connected to nature. Nice, @oscarina

The miracle of nature is something incomparable. Excellent haiku

We are being intertwined with nature, naturally. And this is, indeed, miracle. Thoughts provoking poem.

The message contained in your haiku is as magical as your mastery doing haikus, dear @artofwisdom. Spectacular! I love your creative art. Blessings!

Hi, @artofwisdom. Quiet Zen! ♥

Looks like the universe has been knitting lately.
.
Smart insight, @artofwisdom

Una poesía muy sensorial, casi se siente el ruido y la brisa marina... ¡Felicitaciones!

Gracias @oscarina. Muy amable.

Excellent haiku! The photographic shot adorns it ... I love that shore of the sea. Wonderful description of the moment of encounter with that marine environment, brother.

Gracias.

Soothing murmur, indeed.

Nice, @corderosiete :)

Hi, haiku poets!

Here's my haiku:


                                    "Peaceful"

  ·  6 years ago (edited)

birds never fall
they can fail
regardless

fallen when hurt
swift feathered shoot
death flower

Thanks, @bacus15

flower still frail
just delicate burgeon tips
beneath the surface

Good haiku, congratulations, friend.

Thank you very much, dear @corderosiete

Well achieved the state of emotion before the contemplation of the image related to the powerful expression of words. Lovely, @marlyncabrera.

Contemplation of nature is a dear thing to me, dear @zeleiracordero, and I certainly love being able to share some of this pleasure (or at least I try my best) ♥

Hello everyone! I fell asleep last night and did not manage to present my series of haikus. Here it is, I hope you like it.
The color of the rain

rain is
drain in
grain
alone

Definitely, there is nothing better than the rain to drain emotions, dear @bacus15.

I am not sure, i meant this exactly ;) . Rather pollution, these things :) .

Hi, dear @zeleiracordero!♥

Here's my comment on your post:

Ah, the naïveté of subjectivity.
Gorgeous layout; amazing haiku duet ♥

Thanks, dear Marlyn!

Hi, @bacus15.

Here's my comment on your post:

In order to play one must haiku here? Good. Lemme see...
.
Synchrony
.
A rose opens up.
An ant comes find its pistil.
Flawless scheduling.
.
Now, @bakus15, I love the way you've perceived the delicacy of blossoming. Flowers thank you for sure ♥
.
Even though roses are tough enough to survive the winter, they must certainly use some kindness and love in warmer, easier times.
.
Loved this haiku!
.
(Coming back to upvote when my hurt VP bumps up; couple of days)

Thank you for upvote and inspiring reply :) .

The striking beauty of the rose screams so much that our perception mixes and attributes synesthetic effects.

The ant raised to the rose
savor its sweetness
white and curly

As pertain to ants, friend i recommend you to watch opening scene of Indian movie Munnariyippu from 2014. You will love it, i am sure.

Did you notice what is an ant raised in the white rose of the photograph?

Actually, not :) . Let me check.

Now i see it! Thank you for deep insight :) !

The blooming rose is a magnet for bees. There is a symbiosis

Yes, and still rose is frail, even if inviting :) .
