You're right, who are we to judge what is beautiful and what is not. Beaut lies in the eyes of the beholder. Nice haiku, made me think.

A traditional Japanese haiku is a three-line poem with seventeen syllables, written in a 5/7/5 syllable count. Often focusing on images from nature, haiku emphasizes simplicity, intensity, and directness of expression. In this thread we want to stay true to that nature or syllabic count although inspiration can come from other sources besides nature. E.g. -
haiku (Movie Titles)
sushi girl
john dies at the end
two days in new york
Seventeen syllables or less is acceptable. But we are all students so mistakes are acceptable as well. It is my hope we can all learn from each other.

It's seventeen syllables that's for sure. But the pattern can be changed like 5/5/7 or 7/5/5 or 5/5/5 the beauty is in the picture you paint using the seventeen syllables or less.

Bumble bees in the sun
But what do they do at night
They date their honey
