A hard thing to do, Lori, but you've done the rose complete justice in the ways in which you have portrayed her here. Just love the third! It's hard to think of the "cost" to the rose when love presents itself in this way... TY Kate xx

in between rains
the scent of the roses
still reigns

This can have many meanings in life in love and in everywhere. Anyway it just rained in my place and I can still smell the scent of the roses. Thanks for your ever so beautiful Haiku's

yellow roses

Lori, all of these are lovely...Roses may be carried away with the seasons, but never are they swept from our souls.
Awesome!

Lori, I do not know how you are able time after time to bring these glorious Haiku’s to life, but you do it so well every time! I enjoyed them all, but I especially enjoyed the second one. The simplicity of them yet the emotions you are able to stir is a shining testament to your wonderful gift as a remarkable Poet, and it is one of the main reasons why I continue to read and admire your work. Without sounding too mushy I thank you for sharing your work and talent. Take care and be well.

Clever combination of haiku. Love them! Thank you, Lori. Love and peace to you. Regis

love the rains and reigns in 1, imagery of 2, sacrifice of flower in moment captured in 3, and esp. like 4 for originality... you are a master!

Blondie, these are great, can also see why you won those comp's..love 'em

Aw, for me? For everyone! Thank you, Lori. Your haiku are always a gift. I still owe you some Charlie Brown haiku. Don't worry. They're a comin'.

I can breath in the lovely aroma of the first one. The second is a visual masterpiece. The third one is passionate and sad. The last one is destruction. These are magnificant. I guess the first one is my favorite.

a dozen roses
carefully chosen
die for love

I like them all, Lori! I wonder if people grasp how much talent simplicity requires. You've got it going on. ;-)

No 1 for me Lori...
You make haikus look easy..and they are not !!
