Tell me what you think of them!

A Seedling Prevented
The acorn falls from the tree and bounces down among the branches
It knows not the folly of man
as it tumbles it knows only the rough texture of the bark it bounces against
and the shock of another impact
perhaps it will grow into another tree, just as strong?
or perhaps it will, like many of the other acorns
be cracked and eaten by a squirrel

Midnight in the Manor
when the clock is finished with the last belltone announcing the new hour
what happens to the man listening at the door?
will he leave the dark room?
will he go to bed and retire?
or will he perform an act more sinister
and lock the door?

Cretaceous
the surface of the liquid is disturbed by a distant rumble
the thing grows nearer
an impending storm
the brink of disaster
i can see its sillouette
but it tears me apart
before i see its eyes

Irony of the Spectrum
a flower's beauty
is seen fully by the bee
which can't see beauty

unanswered questions
i do not know what stands behind me
reading as i type
i can feel its breath
cool on my sweaty neck
and it is soothing to know
that I can have the chance
to admit my crime
before i die.

Irony of the Spectrum is a good haiku. A couple of questions though...
Is the word "bee" the kigo?
Where is the kireji?
