A beautiful photo of a red rose with some white, symbol of love, wilts and fades to white. Thorn pricks too deep. A faultless Haiku for this book.

Very nice haiku Teresa.
I'm exploring the haiku and haibun form and find it quite a challenge.
You have created a thought provoking message in this one.

Blessings
Janet

This speaks a true feeling of love status as the red rose of love is seen evidently now fading to white and thorn pricks too deep and fate of love is so correctly depicted; I liked.

Roses have a cruel for of protection
Thorny branches keep irresponsible admirers at by
The symbol of Love
Makes a beautify bouquet
***
This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a very good read.

A beautiful haiku about a rose. A perfectly composed in form, gorgeous in imagery and visuals.

I had a little trouble understanding "wilts and fade to white" - it's "to white' part didn't get. Sorry for being dense (lol).

A lovely addition to the book.

    I had a generic "Thank you". But I asked a question in the review which you didn't answer.

reply by the author on 25-Jul-2017
    Sorry. You didn't exactly ask a question. A metaphor - the rose (of love) bled out being pricked too deeply by the thorn.
reply by Eternal Muse on 25-Jul-2017
    No, I asked what the second line meant:

    "wilts and fades to white" - it's "on white" part I didn't get

    You said I didn't exactly ask a question.

    This is a quote from my review:

    I had a little trouble understanding "wilts and fade to white" - it's "to white' part didn't get.
reply by the author on 25-Jul-2017
    I guess I read it as a statement not question, sorry. Have a nice day:)
reply by Eternal Muse on 25-Jul-2017
    I still didn't get the answer. What is the "white" referred to in the second line?
reply by the author on 25-Jul-2017
    white and in pales - fades to white.
reply by Eternal Muse on 25-Jul-2017
    Thank you. Sorry for all this commotion. You probably got a lot of reviews because of your poem's position - it's hard to reply to everyone.

Excellent alliteration in the first line
Beautiful artwork
I love the honesty with this as indeed love does wilt and fade, and it is painful- indicated by the third line

Thank you for sharing

Ohhhh, I really enjoyed this haiku, Teresa.
It bled out, did it?
While the first cut is always the deepest, it's all the tiny cuts that follow which add up and bleed us dry.
Your kigo, or seasonal reference, could refer to a couple of different things in this.
Nicely done!

Hi Teresa; isn't it true that the thorns of love hurt so much when the first blush has burned away. The lust may burn out, but true love will exist on embers.

A well structured haiku,

~patty~
