Beautiful, haikus are fun. So much said in so few words.

I love the haiku form but never know if I have written a proper haiku or just a three line poem in the haiku form:-) hugs jan xx

Even without the pic, I get the picture which is what haiku is for. The blossom weakens under the wing power of many butterflies leaving. I like your pivot too, sultry contributes heat to the image. Congrats on your placement, I give it a 7.
