Your insightful and delightful prose always lets us know that we are prisoners of love, Probir. A most beautiful captivity. Gorgeously expressed haiku. Love and smiles.

We are ... But why prisoners ... Isn't it a freedom ...or else how do we change the feeling into a poem ... Thank you for your insightful comments ...

They say wake up and smell the roses, but your tuberose and chocolate must be divine. A very nice haiku Probir, full of meaning and hidden meaning... Maria

Of course it is not necessary to be personal, but the conscious mind and unconscious mind are interconnected... At least for me... it is...

It is not necessary for the poetry to be personal ... In fact none of the famous Haikus is so ... Thank you for the comment ...

Interesting, did you know the tuberose is a plant that does not grow in the wild, and apart from its connection with perfume it also has something to do with chocolate. i smell the morning, those chains, daunting... Mick

In several poems of mine I have used tuberose for the chocolate ... Very common symbol ... I curse the chains ... thank you for reading ... the very word hai refers to something unusual, which, I am sure you know ...

The third line of a haiku may initially look intriguing but on appreciation must look interesting and beautiful or else it is far from the haiku ... thanks for reading, Cheryl ...
