Open Up

waits for the sunrise
asleep under the night sky
eyes of the daisy

Just now seeing your reply to my comment, Harry. Yes, the title for me is SO important. I am not a rule follower!! Today I paid for a normal seat in the movie theater. I went in and saw hardly anyone sitting there so I just sat in the luxury seat people pay two dollars extra to sit in, and I had my treat in my purse that I sneaked in as well!!

back with congratulations, Harry. Did you put the title once you got on the list? I prefer them with titles.

The beauty of poetry granting poets with the talent to draw eyes to daisys, blessing them with sleep.. A brilliant capture of a wonderful image! A pleasure to read. Stay blessed Harry.

A delightful haiku, Harry. You and Paul seem to have a knack for this form, which looks simple but is really quite complicated. Love the though of daisies having "eyes" that sleep till sunrise! Best wishes in the contest, my friend. Love, Carolyn
