"Innocence gone wild" - now I like that line ... Oh, all right, I'll get back on topic, lol! But seriously, it works very well to describe the daisies, which are after all just plants like any other, but get called "weeds" because they don't happen to fit humans' requirements.
I still like the other ideas that line brings to mind, though ...

Hey, that is why I used that line - there is nothing wrong with a bit of suggestive fun! LOL Thanks, Louise for enjoying my light-hearted daisy haiku and telling me about it :-) Brooke

I always find it hard to write a review for someone so high up the ranks, especially when the only thing to say is brilliant as usual! (you could always write something flawed to give us amateur reviewers some practice!!) :-)

Marnie, what a sweet thing for you to say - thank you!! I write lots of flawed stuff, but have the good sense to crumble it up and throw it away before posting - you should see all the less than perfect drafts I have of each poem :-) Some of them are total crap! Brooke
Comment from Arlecchino
Do you know im getting rather addicted to these wild flower haiku's. They are wonderfully delightful. I love the line
innocence gone wild
it expresses how delicate the beautiful but wild flowers really are, and how important it is for us to preserve their natural habitat

Comment from DecrepitOldBag
Isn't that strange! Last evening, when walking my dogs, I noticed, on the way home, a patch of soft grass with loads of daisies in it. They looked so bright against the grass. I said to my son, "Now, my friend Brooke is writing about wild flowers in little poems called haiku. I wonder if she'll write one one daisies, don't they look lovely?" My son laughed at me and said, "There's not much to say about a daisy really is there!"
Here I am, switch on the computer, go to my messages on FS - and Brooke has written a lovely haiku on daisies! I've just had him read it too!
Lovely, Brooke, just lovely.
Warmest wishes,
Kat

One great thing about haiku is there doesn't have to be a whole lot to say on a subject - just one or two things will do! LOL Thanks for sharing that with me, Kat. Brooke :-)
Comment from Margaret Snowdon
This is a lovely piece,
Brooke - your words painting
their own picture of the
humble daisy, the flower with
a golden smile.
Love it.
Margaret.

Thank you, Margaret. Did anyone ever call you Daisy - I understand from my research it is a nickname for Margaret because your name is derived from words meaning daisy :-) Brooke

Daisy - no!
Buttercup - maybe!
Rose - definately!

evidently the daisy is called a Marguerite in French, hence the nickname :-)

Did you ever make daisy-chains as a child? They remind me of the Maypole and the flowers that children wear as a garland in their hair. This was a nice little poem reminded me of fried egg - yolk in the middle and white around the edges; yes, I have had my medication today.
Thanks for sharing my friend.

Comment from Domino
Hi, Brooke.
I'd suggest you de-capitalise 'Pristine' ?
Clever to use 'wild' ambiguously as in having fun or a wild flower. Excellent imagery and satori, plus very imaginative.
Best wishes, Ray xx
