Positively 'Dickensian,' Paige: 'The ghost of summer past' --- or should I say 'of summer last...'

"burning through a tulip's ghost." It sounds like you feel pain so deeply within. Such a powerful one liner, Paige. My best to you. Hugs, Brandy

This reads to me like the sadness of fall ending, very evocative with a tinge of mystery~

i'm with ink here - 'tulip's ghost,' there is a delicate power brought to life by the asymetry of these two statements, nicely said

a lovely Haiku, Paige. Am I correct in assuming you have fair skin (like a tulip's ghost) and your cheeks got sunburned? Just curious. enjoy your evening, Sara

And basically it describes me- because I'm always feeling pain for nature and people when they are suffering I guess...I am one with the tulip; I see her in me.

Hey there, Sara... I'm really just writing from a "feeling and sense" metaphor look. Sometimes I don't know even what I am saying 'til the end, lol. I am really in love with nature. :) You seem to be too.
