1. These are so good, Bjorn

   • Thank you 🙂

2. The second one is especially nice — what a wonderful thought.

3. Both lovely but am loving the nocturnal symphony!

4. I’ve heard those bull frogs and sometimes their symphony resembles cacophony! Still, your haiku delighted me!Welcome Summer

5. I adore finding Iris in its natural habitat – in the almost swampy/marshy areas. I remember the first time I saw it in the “wild” as I had only ever seen it in manicured gardens. It was like stumbling upon a secret, hiding behind its tall green leaves (I’m working on a poem about this flower for Poetry Jam right now) I love your reference to summer love… I know the bloom of this flower really is short lived – as often is summer love! (gotta love comments that are longer than a poem ha ha)

6. Simple, delicate and fragile haiku,just like the flower itself. The second is a classic and the first an interesting thought,,,maybe true…very nice

7. Love your haiku, the second is particularly poignant:) We have wild irises in the garden, but they are mostly white. They flower in April.

8. Wow! That first haiku is for sure my favorite, I like them both, but that first haiku is a gem. Thank you Bjorn for sharing.

9. I can imagine the soft music in the first…. and methinks the second is autobiographical?

10. both lovely but the bullfrog ‘ku is so strong in its haiku spirit.

11. These are lovely.
