800 - Prickly Reflections

Haiku Horizons has the prompt ‘thorn’.


We all have some thorns.
We all have flowers and fruits.
Harvest carefully.

◊◊◊

Rose may have thorns.
If you change your perspective—
Thorns may have roses.

◊◊◊

Thorns are not too bad
If they offer protection.
Brer Rabbit agrees.
