This poem reminds me of the old commercial about Nescafe coffee. I liked the memory it brought back and the poems style as well. Good luck in the contest and thank you for sharing.

LOL - perfection! (both the poem and your daughter's mother-in-law's
instincts)

lush and ruffled blooms
have no need for podiums
they're gold incarnate

Chrissy, what a cute poem for the Haiku Poetry contest.
Flowers look good in any vase. It doesn't have to be
fancy. I like that coffee jar arrangement.

I am really just learning this form so I can't really judge the quality except to say that I liked this one. The picture is superb for the verse. Good luck in the contest, Chrissy

Great little tale of joy in a simple observation. Should be a great entry in the contest as it fits the bill for a little gem of a haiku.

Hi frogbook, thanks so much for your review and encouraging words. I couldn't resist this one and the image just seemed to lend itself to a Haiku. Cheers Christine😃

Your poem entry for Haiku contest is innovative with an unusual title. There are so many versions of haiku but I believe the third line ought to give a mental feeling which this post did not. May be the brand name of a household product was not appropriate for a haiku.

Hi scd41 Thank you for your review and comments for my Haiku. I know this is a little unusual for a Haiku, but I do appreciate your views Cheers for your time Christine😊

A well-written haiku and that beautiful arrangement distract the eyes from the holder first until you mentioned the coffee jar, that was the only thing I saw.

Hi Sandra, Thanks so much for your review and it was the coffee jar that first took my eye ,hence this Haiku arose from that I thought yes many a coffee jar acts as a vase LOL the flowers are lovely too Cheers again for reading my work Christine😃

Comment from Bill Schott

This haiku is special to me as it reminds me of my mom. Your haiku is well put together, of course, and the picture complements it supremely. We had lots of flowering things around of house and anything that could hold water would find its way onto dome table or ledge with colorful flowers exploding out. Nice memory. Good job with this poem.

Hi Bill, I am pleased my Haiku and picture reminded you of your Mum and I am sure many a Mum used coffee,fruit, jam jars to display their flowers, not many would have had an expensive vase. I smiled when I saw this image also and thought I would use it with a Haiku .Thanks so much for reading and reviewing this one Cheers to you Christine😃
