Thank you so much for the fantastic review and giant sixer, Yelena. Yeah, I searched through a lot of pictures until I found the right one. Too many of them didn't have huge thorns on them like I was looking for. Plus I enhanced the picture's colors a little too. Every once in a while I'll break down and come up with a haiku idea. Lol. As always, Y. I really appreciate the gracious stars. I'm glad you liked the piece. Have yourself a wonderful day.

Congratulations on your well deserved win!

I reviewed so many haiku where I had to educate the people on haiku writing - yours is perfection! I should quote yours when I try to explain the difference between a haiku and Chinese ballet! (lol)
-
Lol. Yeah, it bugs me when the site has a haiku contest but pretty well just lets anything fly. Not many folks get the haiku. What can you do? Ha
Thank you again, Y.

I reviewed quite a few that didn't qualify. Had to educate them. One actually came in second after my lessons (lol). Have to have patience.

I enjoyed reading your interesting, descriptive, well-written poem. It awakens the imagination. Your artwork choice goes well with your message. Best wishes!

An exceptional haiku. Everything ... photo, the link between the 'fierce beauty' and 'soldiers at the gate' (really loved that!) and the link between the fence and the gate.

Thank you so much for the fantastic review and big sixer, Gale. There's actually a little research in this one. Plus, the picture took a good while to find, then I enhanced the colors a little bit too. I dearly appreciate the gracious stars and kind comments. I'm glad you liked the piece. I hope you have a wonderful night.

Yes a Haiku celebrating the 'barberry shrubs' beautiful, yet displaying a beauty that is a 'fierce beauty ' and 'thorned ' and what a gorgeous color display
