Beautiful poem, beautiful imagery.

Lovely, Michael. Coincidentally, we have been teaching the kids about pollination recently and the importance of bees in regards to that. The flower gives to the bee and the bee gives back by pollinating.
You are a master at the shorter forms.

Michael, such a lovely haiku. It just brings all the nice things of summer-well done-

Feeling like summer, hm? I like these kinds of short little beautiful poems. :)

Judging Comment:

Such a cute little write that captivates readers everywhere with the lovely, fitting seasonal description. Most people do not associate the popular phrase "flower power" with much other than feminism or the 70's in the US, but I love how that title adds a little bit of dynamic to the piece and how even a simple haiku can (almost literally) knock my socks off. The very strategic use of punctuation should also be noted as having aided in this piece's success.

P.s. I'm so sad that this did not win, it was truly one of my favorites this session.
