the scent of wild thyme

wafts temptingly through the air

I follow the bees

I agree with you re having a longer list, though mine would still have been eliminated since I gave it a title! Thanks for liking:) Regards // paul

It would be a tough choice, Paul. But I would probably choose the honey also. Lovely haiku. Should do well. Good luck!
