Notes About The Poem

Sunflower of Night

sunflower of night
with petals washed in moonglow
dreaming of the noon

lavishly lovely
wrapped in velvety darkness
in summer's green hour

the warm breezes blow
riffling the golden petals
milky way's twinkling

Interesting take on a 'sunflower,' Evelyn. We so often associate it only with daytime. But, of course, they're around at night, aren't they?! Flowers and Fragrance, Gershon

Indeed they are, Gershon. And they look just as lovely. Thank you for your thoughts. Sunshine and Moonlight, Evelyn

Evelyn, you have created a beautiful haiku chain that is gorgeous. Your usage of two acronyms is rather interesting too. Blessings

Wonderful job on getting FIRST place in my Planet contest from 6 months ago. Sorry it took me so long! So many good ones to go through for one. Yours was fascinating with the double acronym, had never seen that before. Exquisite job!

Thank you for this special honor and your kind words, Matt. No worries about the length of time the judging took. I know it's a complicated process, that not everyone can do. Your contest was engaging and fun. Happy holidays, Evelyn
