Heart wrenchingly beautiful

It's a cliche that roses represent love, blah, blah, blah. Nevertheless, it's a lovely cliche.

Beautiful.

These are really, truly stunning. You said that you saw a few good quotes in my story, but I read this and all of these haikus are quotable. You pack so much imagery and feeling in just a few words. It impressed me how well you could portray the feelings that each flower evokes. I feel like you also improved as time went on. In the beginning, you had a lot of wonderfully written phrases, and it was all descriptive and vivid and everything, but you'd list the phrases rather than link them. As the haikus went on, all the phrases just came together. You're an amazing haiku writer. You really are. :)

in general, i liked all of ur haikus, but i liked this one the best. the bittersweet irony of the Fall from innocence. well done.

very cynical. i like.

The emphasis on "lingering" was very effective. Pardoning the lame put, it made it linger :p

The break from the second to third lines was awkward. The first thought was interrupted and there was less emphasis on the last word.

I like your refernce to the "loves me/loves me not" idea. You phrased it in an interesting way that didn't make it at all cliche.

I don't like how the phrase "one/by one" got split as it's such a self-contained idea. I know it's hard with the syllable count, though :/

I like the use of the word "wilting." Even though it's used in reference to the light, it is commonly used for flowers, so it wort of tied the two ideas together.

Again, you left an adjective hanging in the first line. I suppose it's not too much of an issue as poems often excercise a lot of poetic liscence, but it still draws some negative attention to that line.

I liked the phrase "colored by the/dye of first crushes." It beautiful and original imagery.

I don't like the commas in the second line. It breaks it up too much.

I like the use of the words "gleaming" and "beaming" in such close context. It has a nice ring to it that carries the first line into the next.

The first line doesn't make sense grammaticly. Gleaming is an adjective, yet it is not describing any noun.

A friend just told me tonight that whenever she sees a sunflower she has to smile because they look like happiness to her.

This describes perfectly what I think of when I think of daisies too.

My sister's favorite.

oh these were so cute and nice to read! i thoroughly loved them - my favorite one was the tulips.

i so love these!

i'd read each one

and be amazed at how well you dscribed their character

and some of it i hadn't thought of before,

but then it made sense and seemed to go with

the flower perfectly.

very nice poems! :]
