Yes, it can be challenging when you're trying to get a point across in so few words. Thanks so much, MC!

I believe this is the first haiku I've seen from you . I like it ;} Thank you for reading " Hollow Bones" I read my poems to my g- daughter because it teaches her how to read. So now and then she likes to input some ;}

Beautiful!! Accurate and perfect description of both love and flowers. Seems we were both in a "flower" writing mood yesterday. Thank you for stopping by "In Bloom"-- your encouragement is always appreciated!! Our writers group, who meet once a month, want us to write on the title "Lazy Daisy Days" (light verse) for next month-- Hmmm.. not too great on 'light verse', but will see what comes out.

Poet Tacito
Date: 7/12/2013 7:40:00 AM

Hi, Kim! :) Yes, I noticed that! That was pretty coincidental! Or, was it?? lol But, thank you so much for that. "Lazy Daisy Days", interesting. Let me know how that turns out. I'd like to see the end result! =)

I don't write Haikus too often, but today was a good day for one. :) Change things up a bit. Very awesome of you to stop by here, Toshia! =)

I love flowers..and tulips are a definite beauty..Somehow this haiku reminds me of a dong i used to sing when i was very young ,about Tulips from Amstetdam.Everytime I sang it I used to close my eyes and imagine myself in s large field of tulips..Somehow I can relate to tulips and the memory even if in different ways from yours.I guess violet tulips represent royalty and if in gardens -its royalty,health and passion..I hope you ll find them all..not in a memory but for a lifetime.Lovely imagery

Poet Tacito
Date: 7/11/2013 4:46:00 PM

Hey, Varsha!!! :) You came by here! Awesome! That's really cool to hear! I only started dabbling in Haikus back in 2010. It was awesome to get a hold of this style. It's a nice change of pace from my usual Free-Verse or Prose banter. =D Thank you so much for coming here!
