Notes About The Poem

Stillness

Photo of Lilies that I took and thanks to Sandra Weiss for framing it :)

               still summer air
         orange Lilies standing tall
             no movement at all

Nice one. Here it is: Humid and hot sweat dripping from moist skins - wet paradise. Kind wishes, Kai

A perfect image portrayed by this haiku by the stillness of the atmosphere, nothing moves, not even the lilies. Creative. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

I see the lilies standing stock still, just as you've drawn it up... Nicely imaged... I like that you rhymed this haiku as well. Best wishes, gw

Thank you Gershon. I am happy you can see the image. I have a line of orange Lilies blooming along the side of my house :)
