Brooke, your imagery is as clear and precise as ever. You keep writing this beautiful poetry and I keep getting behind on reading it. I'm doing a lot of book signings and getting behind. Roger.

Roger, lots of book signings - that is a fantastic thing!!! I'm thrilled :-) I've missed you, but that is one heck of a good reason for being absent :-) Brooke
Comment from sgalletti
Well...of course I particularly liked this wild flower haiku because I was named after this flower! And, again, here is the alliteration of the s's. I'm liking this consistent use of internal sounds you use to provide additional strength through rhyme and rhythm to a poem that requires none. PS As you can see, I am catching up with my reviewing. But, I'm trying to take it slow - like the marshmallow. Sue

Comment from Helen Tan
Apologies, I've been sick so have not reviewed for a few days.
smatterings of sun
I like the use of "smattering", it gives me a sense of little dots of sunlight on each individual brown-eyed Susan. These wild flowers also look like "smatterings of sun".
I am just curious, is the "brown-eyed" part of the flower's name? If so, should this be in capital letter, if not, please ignore my comment. =D

Helen, I'm so sorry to hear you've been ill - I hope your return means you're all better! :-) Yes, the brown-eyed is part of the flower's name, but I don't think of flower names being capitalized. I don't write - what a pretty Tulip. Thanks so much, Brooke :-)

Hi B
No "smatterings" about it , I love it. Great title to superb content. I'm jealous of your picture , Brown-eyed Susan is one of my favorite flowers , but in my garden they don't look as lush as your pic.

I am enjoying you wildflower haiku series, Brooke. This is another lovely one. Yes, we in Ohio understand "smatterings." The yellow of the Susan is a vibrant, sunny sight.

I was more worried people in Australia wouldn't use the word the same ;-) Thanks, Sally. Brooke
Comment from Fleedleflump
I'm offended, because here in the UK smatterings is a slang term for casual, happy-slappy attacks committed by gangs of girls, who record the assaults on their mobile phones! Terrible!
Just kidding. In all seriousness, I love the sun infusing the petals; beautiful way to describe these stunning flowers. Another excellent petal-inspired haiku :-)

Beautiful picture and description that is right on for a simple little flower that in a group makes such a punch! I think I enjoy your explanations almost as much as your haiku(s) What is the plural of haiku?
