Although you paint quite lovely a picture with this 5 7 5 piece, it cannot be called a haiku,

It would better tightened, example:-


rose
stands tall in bouquet
my finger bleeds

No need for extraneous words.

Nice pairing with artwork will be happyto re-rate if you make edits.

Wow! This is a great haiku. I love the artwork, but your words would be great w/o them. The words paint a great picture.

Good job and congrats on being recognized.

You have penned a beautiful haiku in good form . You have two grammatically interconnected lines of concrete images and an excellent satori line.

I am not sure if "stands tall" as applied to a rose in a bouquet would be considered personification which is not allowed in haiku.I tend to think not.

I like to share what I have learned from those who know, and in that spirit, want to say that I love word economy in haiku, as the original form intends. As such, I respectfully suggest:

beautiful rose
graces spring bouquet
finger cut bleeds

Nicely done.

Best,
Lena

With beauty sometimes comes pain especially with roses. Good haiku with includes good imagery and good syllable count.

Simple and beautiful.
My art causes me to bleed but sometimes it adds to the creation.
I enjoy your outlook and realize everyone goes through times down.

You have described the beautiful rose in seventeen syllables, how it stands out in a spring bouquet and even though it is beautiful and can be presented at any occasion. It must be handled with care as it can hurt you with the thorns. Very good haiku. I did not see anything I would change. Lani2

Gypsy Blue Rose: even the most beautiful flower can hurt you. Even the most romantic relationship can end up hurting you. The cutest baby can poop all over you/throw up all over you/cry all night and deprive you of sleep, etc. Beware the most beautiful: they, too, can make you bleed! I love this and give it a virtual six because I am out of the real ones. livelylinda

Dear Gypsy,

A rose is certainly a beautiful flower but beware when cutting it for a display bouquet. (LOL) The picture is spectacular. Is it the photo of the actual bouquet? I also like the pink font since it complements the flowers.

Warm regards,

Winslow

Did it bleed from the rose thorn. I like that last very unexpected line it was disjointed and therefore very effective. Those roses are so delicate they look like paper roses.
Very well thoughout. Good luck.

Hi Gypsy

I love your 5-7-5 poem about the rose, it is a beautiful looking flower and a joy to view, but not to touch. The image you have chosen is a lovely one.

well done. Mary
