Such a haunting and image-rich creation. Imaginative, lyrical, heartfelt. Thank you, Andrea, for your slant on Imagine This Flight Howard

I don't believe this got a Potd. I won second place in a haiku contest with it

Well written Andrea. In our place we have another flower that we call bleeding heart. It is a heart shaped small white flower with a red pistil and pollens hanging down.

Very visual. A fine write. Great for arthritis pain, the sun -- my bathing experience. Guess I get a little red also.

I like this one very much. Reads like a good contender for a contest to me. Way to go. I like the bleeding-heart flower/plant, but we have tried to have one for the second time with no luck. Sara K

Nicely done Andrea, several nuances in the final line....as it should be in Haiku
