A very well-written haiku. The petals entwined in the fentke breeze it spreads the aromas to attract an abundance of insects for a real feast.

This paints quite the picture of beauty and reality for me anyway. I love the first two lines that connect, and your wonderful last line that makes us pause. I have one suggestion - do not capitalize haiku in the title it should all be in lower case letters.

This is an excellent haiku
written to the form very nicely
with 4-7-4 syllables
it depicts a moment in time observed
Excellent imagery in petals/breeze
with solid grammatical connection
and a very good satori line of the insects
Excellent art work to match
Well done
Good luck in the contest

Very nice picture you were able to find because of the delicateness of the petals almost copies the sheerness of an insect wing. So we have a "nature together" picture emerging from this equally delicate little haiku. Picture and poem seem to have been made for each other, tho we don't believe that's true.

Yet another really good, descriptive Haiku. Wonderful artwork. Really compliments the poem but the poem also can stand alone. Well done once again.

Ulla, I really like your haiku contest entry. Tells a wonder little story about these petals coming together to be able to sway in a gentle breeze giving home to many different insects. I wish you good luck in the contest my friend,,,,,,Jim
