This haiku, Wasp Seeks Nourishment, presented as a 5-7-5, rings the dinner bell for hungry bees and allows for patrons to fly in and fill up. Nice...........

kahpot between the insects and not enough rain.
The beautiful picture of the trumpet flowers need rain and rid of the pesty bugs

last line is the great twist for your ending

This is an excellent response to the challenge! Seeking nourishment, they decided to stay awhile. Great interpretation of the artwork. I enjoyed it.

Dear poet,

What a beautiful haiku! I love it. It speaks of nature, insects, the fulfilling process of pollination, with a fun twist as well!

Well done!
Cheers,
DJ

Your haiku is in great form. I enjoyed reading it. Your color scheme is perfect and sets off your well thought out words perfectly. Great job with the syllable count per line. I like your satori--fits well. Your words read smoothly and create great imagery.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

I love your poem. Good syllables count and connection between lines. Lovely presentation. Excellent imagery of the wasps and trumpet flower. I like the last line...good play on words and juxtaposition. Well done!

You have made effective use of your seventeen syllables in this charming piece about a wasp in need of liquid sustenance. Good metaphor in the use of "squatter"

The picture is beautiful and suits the haiku well. This is an excellent example of an insect contemporary haiku style of poetry. I love the comparison of the wasp to a squatter...and I love the phrase, 'squatters paradise.' This style fits your need for accurate punctuation as it needs none this time. Well done, my friend.
Have a good day,
Jesse

Hi K ym,

Interesting metaphor included in your contemporary insect haiku.

Good imagery too.
I might make it a 5/6/5 and reverse the order. It would leave out the (ing) in the first line...

wasp seeks nourishment
invades vacant trumpets
squatter's paradise

I think you need that apostrophe too...?

That adj. would keep it all in the moment. Just a thought...it is up to you.
You could also think of another 1 syllable descriptive word in the middle line...like 'bell trumpets' or something.

Ok, I enjoyed your creative and humorous contribution.

Anna
