1. Ever heard of gloves? LOL Well done.

   1. Thom — don’t be silly, rose bushes don’t wear gloves!

2. rose caress—
   a thorn drawing blood—
   vampire kiss

   Desert karma

   1. MMT — lovely, but without a seasonal reference, it isn’t Haiku.

3. good one Quilly!

   unfortunately, I always seem to get the thorn as well…

   1. Polly — yin & yang — that’s life.

4. whenever I get too self absorbed …I always remember the torn in roses…
   I love your Haiku!

   1. Shakira — it is a good lesson. And thank you.

5. I hope your karma is less prick-ly IRL – I can’t see you doing anything to deserve a thorny end.

   Well done!

   1. Jenn — I have done my share of not-so-nice things.

6. at least the thumb heals fast and wasn’t in your side 🙂

   Nicely done Q!

   1. Larry — indeed. I will leave the pierced side to my Savior. He bears it with love and forgiveness.

7. So that’s kinda why I leave the roses on the bush!!

   (actually I don’t like cut flowers – to me it’s like they’re dead already.

   1. RiA — I was not cutting the flowers. I was just trying to photograph them on the vine. Apparently they are shy.

8. this is actually GOOD! and a great take on a theme generally too philosophical for haiku 🙂

   1. Polona — well, I struggled for a long time to come up with something fitting and stay in Jenn’s syllable requirement. I am glad you approve.

9. don’t pick flowers, especially roses… that’s the moral lesson here. 😀
