rare buds bloom as one
fragrant perfume bathes the air
saturating souls
~~~
heady scents linger
stimulating memories of
pleasures of the flesh
~~~
blood red roses spill
petals from mournful stems, to
weep upon your grave

Author notes
I wrote these just for your contest. It was a pleasure to spend a while contemplating life in haiku form.

Beautiful!Absoluteley wonderful! I love Haikus, and those are one of the best ones I've read. I think it's so awesome how you put flowers as emotions, It's so original.

A beautiful journey in emotions. Thank you so much for following all the contest rules! Wonderful use of flower imagery to describe human situations. An excellent write, and they work so well as a trilogy! Thank-you for entering and allowing me to read your fine work! Keep writing

Beautiful!
I simply love haikus. I wrote a Trilogy of Two, on my author's page. I spent last Saturday having fun with them because I don't write them as often as I should. I am going to enter this contest. Thanks for the inspiration with your beautiful entries. Good luck with the contest.
Much Love,
Renee
