This is a clever write. Summer rose to Christmas holly and nice transition in between. You say a lot in just three lines. I enjoyed it. Thank you for your kind words regarding my epigram. Keep on writing! Karen

The old classics masters used to name their musical pieces with numbers after them, i.e. Concerto #1, Rondo #12, etc. Now the great Irish Haiku master is doing it too and he's now in his 26th. Sean, I can't wait till you reach the count of 69 !!! Or maybe you could re-title this piece Haiku #26 in B-Flat Minor...and outdo the old masters in the process!!! LOL Regards, Fred

This is truly beautiful. I have one of those defiant summer roses in my yard. Sean, your talent is having close competition with your humor. What an awesome combination. Loving number 26. Love, Shar
