Notes About The Poem

- Haiku X 279 - White Daisy -

asks the white daisy
                                 found the answer - and ate it -
                                       conquest or capture


                                         made no promises
                                 it flourished reckless and wild -
                                   the ones who have smelled

I may try to find some so that I can enjoy their beauty once again. Thanks for sharing this one and for dropping by my page with congratulations.

Sotto Poet Date: 6/4/2023 11:59:00 AM Anne-Lisse your haiku collection is a marvelous display of creativity. The quality of your imagery is exceptional, as evidenced by the poem about a white daisy pondering a question, discovering the answer, and consuming it without concern for conquest or possession. This flower thrives in its untamed state, attracting those who appreciate its fragrance. Login to Reply Anne-Lise Andresen Date: 6/5/2023 3:00:00 AM - Many thanks for the lovely comment, Las :) - hugs
