I love your use of the word "quenches": it conjures an image of the dew nurturing the rose through the tiny droplets landing on its petals. Congratulations on the Duel win!

Tania, the relationship made among the three lines makes me smile. It's well done and reflects kind thinking we need more of. Sending smiles.

Dear Tania, Your haiku carries that clean, morning clarity in three lines that feel like a single breath held over a rose. It’s simple, but not slight, a small meditation on beauty at first light. A trophy well earned. Blessings, Daniel
