King of realm of smell:

"I will tell who's rank or fair,"

Eyes of tortoise shell.

—2—

Venus flytrap green,

Sensitive with eyelash touch,

Queen of noisome swamp.

—3—

No deodorant,

How rank, how vile, how foul,—Wow,

But,—¿What lies under?

—4—

Swamp lotus asked sky:

¿Why do you azure reflect?

Ask Zephyr,—He knows.

I usually don't read haikus. But... seeing as there are a lot...

yeah.

I love this. Short and sweet, but chocked so full of imagery. DAMN! -hugs-

These Haikus are absolutely superb - beautiful and so creative! Keep at the good work! ~DS~

Susurration's kiss,

Without Her,—Life's gone amiss,—

Left but cicatrix.

Soft images of massive forms, well done. m

I cant remember the proper syllable number, sorry, but it just came to me. Awesome works.

Nicely conceived and phrased. m

Very awesome. I love the 3-5-3 style. Haven't seen it on here very much, and haven't written in that style for a bit either. Thanks for the reminder of how great that stuff is. This is excellent work.

write on.

I dislike sleepless nights a lot, too ^_^ I can relate to this piece, therefore I can really appreciate the persona's desperate wish ^_^

An excellent description of what people call a *hollow victory* I like the interesting word choice in the second line as well as the use of the relevant quote at the end.

This is so pretty. I love the imagery, and the last line a lot. This is something wholly original, and I've never read anything like that before.
