Haiku Ekphras-Recited

HAIKU EKPHRASIS
A short-lived blossom of Spring
like a mayfly that lives for the day,
the pathos of beauty so fleeting,
a few syllables that remain,where 
less is more and the image lives
its life forever, in memory.

Listen to me read this ekphrasis on youtube under my pen name ichthyschiro
