Greetings Valsa, Your Haiku's often contain remarkable contrasts. "Bashful maidens" to a "macho touch." Delightful, particularly with the refreshing alliteration. Cheers, Brian

The morphing of the caterpillar into the butterfly lets us know we may also do the same in our lives. I love your haiku Valsa. Blessings xxoo
