The Mexican Dahlia

The Mexican Dahlia tinged in burnt orangey-red makes me sigh 
                    as I slumber in a midsummer terra-cotta July sky~ poet

David Kavanagh July 17, 2025 at 3:49 PM Hey you’re a dab hand at these shape haiku’s Anaya, they are really different to get right, but well worth the effort when they come together, just like here in this beautiful verse, cheers David I Am Anaya July 17, 2025 at 5:57 PM Thanks David. It's fun to figure the shape out. If it's remotely close I'm happy. We'll I can be quite meticulous as well, lol funny thing the symbols can mess with PS's coding, < b> >>> was an issue, i directed it to move right. Ah, tyvm!
