Hello Ulla,
It's a marvelous piece of poetry in the form of 'Haiku' meeting all the required norms and transparently depicting its theme.
Wording is impressive, and enlivens this charming piece.
Best of Luck in the contest!

The is a well written descriptive haiku poem. You bring forth a vivid picture with your words and the picture gives an entwined feeling reflecting the words. Nicely done.

I enjoyed the deeper meaning in your well constructed haiku. It seems that a lot of insects abound theses days. I also like the imagery of the soft petals entwined.

This haiku, soft petals entwined, creates a scene in nature where the growing and the feeding occur and become the background of what is what life is all about.

A very well written haiku, my friend. Good sensory detail. Two interconnected lines with a strong satori. Best wishes in the contest, my friend~Debbie

The truth is that I usually don't get a darn thing from Haiku poetry. But, this struck me as good or else I simply wouldn't respond by reviewing. But, this reminds me of trying to clear my mind while fishing and I stare in wonder at nature (flowers, wild ones, especially). Then, flies from the various hatches buzz me and I realize what a poor fly fisherman I am since I couldn't even identify the pest for what they specifically were. Weird, but that's what I got here, as a semi-memory from a fishing trip in the Colorado Rockies. This, somehow, took me back. I even had a brief visual recollection of an actual event. This describes it very well. Thanks. Bruce.
