A molt of white robe Cold blade plunges into shame Crimson flower blooms

Wow Bernard... Breathtaking haiku.., as beautiful as it is tragic... Every line is as stunning as the next. 'A molt of white robe' - using the word 'molt' is a spectacular choice and the imagery painted in your three lines is dramatic and superb. Absolutely awesome and enjoyed!

Thank you so much, Susan. Yeah, that first line was going to be something else. Glad I changed it at the last moment. Have a great weekend :)
