Lupin
Sunlight climbs
A tiny tower –
Pink glory.

Primula
Two-colored
Bouquet of bouquets,
God-gathered.

Pansies
Aren’t pansies.
For us, they always
Bleed colors.

* The haiku I write are lines of 3-5-3 syllables instead of 5-7-5.

Oh, that first one is a “tiny” masterpiece.
Thanks. I’ll take a “masterpiece” comment every day. 🙂
There’s something very sophisticated about your poetry – and in particular for these haikus, your opting for the 3-5-3 version. It’s short, precise, and beautiful.
Thank you very much! That has to be among the nicest things ever said about my work.
