Crimson


forest floor brilliance
a glimpse of crimson glory
whimsical delight
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~
in crimson it screams
this warning must be heeded
poison lurks within

    Two very different takes but equally good.

    Very true Karen. Such mushroom like flowers on the forest floors are often poisonous and emit a foul smell. Very opposite of what a flower should be. Your haiku are classic. Fantastic choice of words!

    I like the first one a lot more.. maybe its the way it ended, "whimsical delight".. it leaves a mark. Something to remember after reading!

    I love both of these together. They tell the story of 'crimson warning'. Great job!

    Can something poisonous also be whimsical? Surely I will need to ponder that conundrum.

    Nice contrast of the same gift of nature ... I haven't learn to tell which mushrooms are poisonous!! I do enjoy looking at them ... and always surprised to see them!!
