Spring Rose (haiku)

Sweet crimson petals
Allure every flitting bee
With a pollen scent

    Very nice, especially for a first effort. Great imagery, wonderfully descriptive, which is very difficult with the limitations of this form. Good job and good luck in the contest, thank you for entering.

    Pretty picture perfect!

    Mmmmm.....really nice! I can smell the pollen sitting here miles away This has a beautiful visual to it and makes good use of the sense of smell and sight, good combination, well inter-woven together! This reminds me of one of my lanturne on bees that you might like to check out

    Nicely done in the 5-7-5!

    Very very good

    Wonderful haiku - you stick to the 5-7-5 form with perfection. Wow, this is your first haiku - that's hard to believe - this is excellent! This haiku sings out 'spring' what with the pollen and the bees and the petals. great!

    Very cute. I love reading short poems to see what people can say with so little. For your first I think this is beautiful. Thanks for sharing, and congratulations on being able to try something new.

    This is a lovely Haiku... 5-7-5 syllables count... though I've learnt that Haikus don't have to be of 5-7-5 syllables count... as far they don't exceed 17 syllables... they are difficult to write, they are not simple as they appear... I liked this one... thanx for sharing...

    This was lovely, and yes bees go to any flower that carries pollen well done.

    Thanks i'll consider that name and it is meant to be a rose so maybe "spring rose"...Also yes i'm sure bees do go to roses.

    "Spring flower" maybe? But the crimson lends itself to a rose...do bees go to roses? Anyway, that's all I have...Good job.
