Those summer roses
by Sanku
Hello, Sanku,
Excellent modern haiku for the haiku club challenge. The syllable count is high. Haiku are succinct and even though modern haiku has fewer rules, they still have to be as short as possible. Also, haiku never rhyme, classic or modern.
I suggest the following changes
dainty summer roses 6
entice the heart 4
tempt hands to gather them6--
sharp thorns 2 (total 18 syllables)

Lovely. The nature theme of traditional haiku is present and the "freeing" of the rigid 5-7-5 "rules" of yesteryear enhances the imagery and metaphorical undertone herein. I have not a clue what the "rules" are for modern haiku... I only know I loved this write.

Beauty catches ones eye as the roses are all beautiful in bloom. Must be careful though when cutting the for another due to their sharp throne . As they are gathered fir your loved one you adore.

Your creative, skillfully-written poem conveys a wise message about the "sharp" side of things--or people?--that appear so lovely and harmless.
(Note: "Tempts" should be "tempt" to agree with the plural word "roses.")

Yes, summer roses are beautiful and they do entice us to pick them. I can't count the times thorns have stuck me. LOL I'll never learn. Thank you for sharing this club entry with us.

It is so sad when summer roses leave us. Modern Haiku is wonderful, I am enjoying writing it. You have a beautiful example here and it touches the heart!

Comment from Mary Shifman
Yes, they are sharp. This is a very nice poem about my favorite flower. I remember when the roses were so fragrant you could smell them as soon as you stepped into the yard. Now days, not so much. They seemed to have sacrificed scent for size and beauty. Oh well, lovely poem and lovely picture.

Comment from Pam (respa)
-Very nice artwork and
presentation, Sanku.
-I like the two parts
you create about the flowers:
their "daintiness" for the heart
and the temptation to gather them
resulting in thorns.
-I also like how there are
layers of meaning based on
those images.
-Well done.

Lovely painting to compliment your short but sweet modern haiku. So many types of roses, the perfume is exquisite and yes, we are drawn to them, to pick for our home or give a bunch to a loved one. K xx
