like me
the bee never knows if this is
a peony

This poem was written in response to Carpe Diem Time Machine #12 Botan (Peony), a great prompt from Paloma, hosted by Chèvrefeuille at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai. All of the poems in the link-up can be read here. And, to finish, here’s The Bee Gees –
A haiku that is deceptively simple 🙂
Great song — and hey, only Barry could get away with that outfit so magnificently 😉
Hey it was the 60s! Everyone thought they could get away with any outfit – incorrectly, as it turned out..
I know so little about flowers that simplicity definitely seems the best way to go – deceptive or not 😉
I like the simplicity of this haiku Blake. It’s really an impression …
Well, I know so little about flowers that I thought it best to try to use simplicity 😉 Thanks, Chèvrefeuille.
like the experimentation … and wonder about that bee 😉
Me too – the bee makes me wonder, the peony makes me wonder, most everything does 🙂 Thanks, Georgia.

a clever haiku Blake. I love the connection with the bee
Thanks, moondustwriter. I must admit I borrowed the bee from Basho’s peony haiku that appeared at CDHK. But hey there’s nothing wrong with taking pointers from the best, right 🙂
