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

Reads like a good contender to me for the contest. Way to go. I have always loved daisies but have not had any in my garden in a long time. 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. Sara

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.
