    The sweet sweet aroma of fresh honeysuckle, hmmm hm.

    The simple beauty of the Haiku is captured here.

    Love it.

    Even the plant world has drama, if you can see it.

    How many senses can a haiku evoke? Sweet smells, spring sights, a happy hearing, full feeling, tasteful

    Smiled so much at this. I have respect for poets who can pull off a meaningful haiku and you did that with just the one word “usurper.”

    Usurper. I’m so using that word this week. Thanks for the reminder about one good word that says so much, which is really important in Haiku land.
