evening perfume a flower blossom primrose memory of you Note: Many older Japanese haiku poets wrote haiku without verbs,adverbs,adjectives ,hence my title today.Of course they wrote in Japanese so such a theory do not always easily cross/transfer linguistic barriers.

Very interesting info.. never knew that abut the Japanese and their writings... your haiku if full of visuals and scents ... much emotion fills these lines also... another stunner from your talented pen Biran.. hope u enjoyed your Christmas holiday... blessings... luv... thankxxx for reading Food for Thought - An Introspection.. as a new poet stated in his comment he got nothing out of my words... I guess not everyone can relate to putting God first in your life... how sad for him... luv ....

I love this, Brian - No adjectives, adverbs or verbs...wow! It crosses the language barrier just fine. Very interesting and challanging Haiku form... Hope you had a wonderful Christmas! - Tim
