You did a good job with your haiku about a beautiful rose. Your picture and presentation compliment your words and the last line provides strong imagery.

Well done! The contrast between roses that bring both pleasure and pain. Those finger cuts hurt big time. Good use of alliteration with beautiful, bouquet, and bleeds. Assonance with spring and finger.

It takes one to know one! I admired your very evocative 5-7-5 haiku and the surprise ending in the satori. Best wishes in the contest- Joan

This is a lovely image to go with your clever haiku which meets haiku requirements. Beware of the beautiful Rose, for she has spikes which hurt.
This reminds me of an attractive Hollywood star.

Beautiful thought...
Beautiful imagery...
Beautiful poem...
and a beautiful bouquet of roses.
Fingers do bleed from the thorns of such a beautiful flower.
Thank you for sharing.

Nicely done.
And truth be told...we've all done it.
Thornless roses? Oh no what next.
Accompanying picture is perfect and the piece follows the haiku

What a lovely image of the beautiful roses. I love the bouquet. You make them sound so lovely, but then there's the little matter of the finger cut. I guess everything has some drawback. It's a thorny problem. Great work with the syllable count. judi

HI Gypsy Blue Rose Good haiku

Yes, beware of the thorny rose that stands out in a bouquet with out any doubt can prick your finger.
