On Garden Earth - Hc

where three roses bloom
and two roses lie wilting . . . 
one bud starts to peek

For every three souls blossoming are two that have seen their last days.
Always at least there is one that has yet on the world to gaze.

Nice haiku! You once said you had won money in contests. All I won in contests were 10 baseball cards and a certificate for Poem of the Month from Poetalk magazine - all they publish is free verse. Yours Matthew Anish
