That was so clever! I really enjoyed reading this one because I understood it! lol. Your first two lines come together beautifully for the last line to round it up perfectly. So very well done. Good luck in the contest. :)) Sandra xx

Wow, this is an excellent haiku with all the elements required of the form. I love the wordplay in the final line as a play on smell and Italy. Very cool write and best in the contest.

This was really good, Janet. I loved the way it flowed and the nod to Italy and Roma. Your words really enhanced the beautiful picture. Nice job of writing.

I am pretty much ambivalent about the flowers, but the color I am fascinated by. There was a time when my macho self would not dream of wearing anything with such a color. Now I proudly wear my black suit with the lavender shirt, matching tie, buttonier and pocket square. I have received many compliments on the way that the combo looks and I have noticed that some of the other men in my circle have started to experiment with the same colors.

A clever play on words! We love our lavender essential oils at our house... couldn't sleep without it! I suspect an Italian vacation would be just as rejuvenating. Well done!

"lavender" is short, succinct and very much to the point. This talented poet's work was a pleasure to both read and review. To me, this is a six, but unfortunately I only have fives left. You KEEP WRITING and I'll KEEP READING. I look forward to seeing your next post.
