velvet blooms blood rose
subtle scent wafts nose
petals
folds of ruffled rows
vivid color grows
sepals
thorns prick of sorrows
wilted tomorrows
medals

hovering in garden patch

                                                 butterfly trio

white petals flirt

                                  passing wings

                                                        dainty cabbage pests

 


My haiku flits like little butterfly to Carpe Diem Haiku Kai‘s garden of cabbages…

forte spalla

 

first violinist

confidence dressed in black gown

tunes the orchestra

 

beauty of music’s notes rise…

to fall like scented petals.
