Haha I love this! I can absolutely relate to the image. My grandmother, being a survivor of world war 2 has a life mission to avoid waste at all costs. This includes recycling jars as cups, placing a bucket under the dripping bathroom tap, reusing plastic bags until they break and an array of other cost effective measures. Funnily enough, coffee jar flower vases are one of these activities.
Oh how annoying yet cute.
Thank you for igniting the memory.

Hi Jo, Yes the old coffee jar vase is still alive even today and I smiled when I saw this picture from my daughter in laws facebook page and thought wow this is a good image to use one day and here it is LOL. Thanks for your review much appreciated Cheers Christine😃

I enjoyed your Haiku
It fits the 17 or less sylable requirement, but the perfection of the form is not what I liked most. The flower arrangement in a coffee jar is very charming. In fact, I have placed rosebuds in soda bottles, beauty in humble surroundings.
Nicely done and best wishes for the contest.
:-) Carolyn

Very nice Haiku that met all the proper Haiku requirements and I loved the Nescafe gold base photo that accompanied the piece. Nice touch. I haven't yet figure out how to attach the photos to my work, but I digress. Your poem is good.

Yes, a rose in any vase smells just the same. Looks the same, too. Good observation for your Haiku Contest entry!

Good luck in the voting.

I had the very same thoughts you did, except not in those very words. What I thought was: Beauty, even when paired with the mundane, is still beauty. It goes to prove the old adage: beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It always has been and it always will be. Very nice idea, taken to the brink of the poetic!

Hi GHW, Thank you so much for your lovely review and comments. as soon as I saw this image I thought what a fabulous message even a plain coffe jar can display the beauty of the flowers. Then I saw the connection of the gold coloured rose and the gold label LOL even better Cheers Christine😃

This is a beautiful picture...I LOVE ROSES!! I expected to see your Haiku be about good coffee...I was quite surprised to see it about the jar being a vase...really cute. You have perfect haiku structure with good description. Good job. Good luck with your contest entry.

Thank you for sharing.

Hi create4christ. Yes it was the gold lable and the gold coloured rose that struck an accord with me and I just loved the fact that the flowers were in the coffee jar and not a fancy vase. Many thanks for your great review and good luck message Cheers Christine😃

Good use of humour in the last line ties together the gorgeous colours of the flowers and their simple 'vase.'
A simple but effective haiku.
Good luck.

A great simple haiku poem. It's a fun idea to arrange flowers in a coffee jar, but did the flowers have a coffee fragrance? lol
