dripping seduction
shining blood-red in the dark
glistens in the night
a single light shines
illuminates perfection
sharp thorns entwining
sweet and sickly still
manipulating beauty
intricately stained
retracing false dawn
representing afterlife
through dark crimson threads
shimmering in death
and igniting in lost love
falling to ashes
Author notes
this is a haiku that i wrote because of a picture i had in my head of a beautiful blood red rose as you can tell. hope you like it, and i hope this is somewhat like what you were looking for. thanks for the opportunity!

Again, very elegant and an incredible haiku - I've never liked them before. Dark, abstract and impressive. Ladame

It's great...I've never been a haiku fan, but I can't dislike words so elegantly displayed.
