This work has reached the exceptional level

This is a very pretty haiku suite about a very beautiful tree. I love the colours and how you describe the tree with each haiku
I will be honest, the first haiku doesn't grab me for some reason but the second one I really like, it really speaks to me as you are referring to Mother Nature's beautiful colours.
Your third haiku is my favourite. I love the play on words and the "nature's masterpiece" is a perfect satori for the gorgeous tree.

    I wrote this suite in the middle of the night because I could not sleep and I stayed up until 4:30 am. I changed the haiga 50 times and on my back and forths I double posted the suite. It's fixed now. I disabled one and corrected the other one.

    Thank you very much, my friend. Your generosity is always a precious gift to me and your feedback is extremely helpful. Thank you for the bottom of my heart. Thank you for the six stars!!!!

    I see that, I just opened up the second post.
    I wrote my comments on the one you disabled, the one you didn't promote. Will this not show up as part of your rating on the poem?

What a fitting name for the Rainbow Eucalyptus tree, a real beauty, bursting with it's own palate of colors. Thanks for sharing another fine poem. :-)

Lady Blue,
Bee-ut-ee-ful tree and your suite, too. Colorful, fun and the tree has an incredible strong medicinal smell. Interesting and fun to see and read.

I have seen them and you are so right, they are absolutely a true masterpiece. The first haiku lead nicely into the second, making them complete.

This is awesome. I love both the illustrations and the lovely haikus that go with each. I have never seen the rainbow eucalyptus before, it is stunning as are your poems.

This is a beautiful haiga suite that resonated with me, Gypsy, not only for your fine imagery and word play, but also because I live in California populated by eucalyptus trees brought from Australia one hundred and fifty years. Some people think these trees are pests because they crowd out native trees. I wish California at least got the rainbow eucalyptus you described. Your text and words on the rainbow bark of the trees resemble Clyfford Still abstract expressionist paintings.

Thank you for sharing your haiga suite.

The eucalyptus with its svelte form and bright colors makes us stop and take a look. Would the late Andy Warhol find inspiration here?

    Yes. I could totally see Andy Warhol paint trees like these if he was alive. Thank you very much, my friend. Your generosity is always a precious gift to me and your feedback is extremely helpful. Thank you for the bottom of my heart.

Gypsy it's funny but I always thought that the eucalyptus tree was native to Australia. And here's your authors notes saying this species is found in the northern hemisphere. I am continually learning from you.
You certainly love your haiku.
