Dearest Victor,what a beautifully simple yet profound image. The sunflower’s quiet surrender to the sun feels like a lesson in trust — a reminder that sometimes we find grace not in striving, but in simply turning toward the light. Hugs

Your "Sunflower" Monoku is truly delightful, Victor. A tale conveyed in a few words.

Your poem is a nice goodbye to flowers for another year. I believe the sunflower is the last to succumb to winter.

Hello Victor, It's so simple and beautiful, but it says so much. That single line captures a feeling of devotion and purpose so perfectly. It really got me thinking. Blessings, Victor, Daniel

Succinct and so true. That's why they are named as sunflowers! A beautiful monoku.
