Hi Sanku,

Oh this is a lovely modern haiku you've penned. I love the satori :

" Sharp thorns"

The satori makes or breaks a haiku and yours was the perfect asset, in my laymen's opinion.

Hope Gypsy likes this one. I really do. Your presentation and image to enhance does just that... much enjoyed reading this gem :))

Always,
Senyai

This is a lovely poem. I can almost smell the roses. Sometimes I am so tempted to pick roses in other people's gardens but I never do. lol. I admire Meryl Street as well. All the best, Laura

Thorns or not, they are so beautiful. I love the different colors of roses and wonder how they were able to be grown that way. Your short poem has me longing for summer...thanks for sharing. :)

'Those Summer Roses', is short, succinct and delightfully descriptive. Woven through each short line are the golden threads of truth. It was a pleasure to both read and review this talented poet's work. I look forward to seeing your next post.

Your words draw the reader in and then the mention of the thorns is a surprise. Your use of words creates a clear picture of nature that brings forth feelings, nature is beautiful but also harsh. Excellent haiku form.

I like it all, Sanku, it is enjoyable enough but the ending kind of leaves me in the dumps!
Sharp thorns, is not a way to end if you want plenty of reviews that is for sure!
Modern Haiku is lots of fun yet the ending is not the way that I would go, my friend, if you don't mind me telling you so! So, I will leave it at that my interesting one,
I have other fish in the sea!
Take care, my friend I wish you all the best!
Jesse

    Haikus are supposed to.have a 'satori" which would provide food for thought.
    It was meant as a cautious warning -applies to life situations as well.
    Thank you for stopping by and reading and reviewing.

Fresh and elegant. Are modern haiku allowed to have more than 17 syllables--yours has 19. Good use of contrast between dainty and sharp. Fine work in the form.

I like your haiku with a romance warning. Just like the enticing roses have thorns, enticing dainty love attractions could also result in some pain. It's great you are learning this modern haiku form!

A very nice modern Haiku. I'm looking at this poem as a metaphor. Something that you desire must be studied very carefully. It may contain sharp thorns.
