It's an absolutely beautiful flower picture. Where did you get it from? It wasn't mentioned in the author's notes. The poem is also very lovely. How do you get the illumination behind the letters? That is quite striking. Have a good week. Karen

A gorgeous image to accompany a superb Haiku. I'll admit the picture caught my interest first, but your poem stayed with me. I love the multiple layers in your words--something so beautiful blooming from the darkest, murkiest depths. Fantastic job!!!!!

How beautiful!
Your poem reminds us that we are not destined to drown in our troubles and sorrows, but rise again and flourish beneath the graces of our Lord.

A lotus flower is such a beautiful flower. Like a floating vessel holding hope. In Richmond where I grew up, we had a Japanese garden. There were koi ponds, bridges and lotus on the ponds. Beautiful. Like escaping reality for the time you walk it. This was a wonderful poem. I enjoyed reading it. Gretchen

I love your contrast of "murky" vs "pristine" and the added "flushed by Sun's graces" to show the additional beauty and color in the lotus flowers. Great poem for the club. Good to see you posting. Hope you are feeling better. ð???ð???

Outstanding, beauty can appear anywhere. Your poem is simple, yet powerful. It reminds me of when I lived in Brooklyn, NY, all the beautiful murals painted on walls. So many lessons to be learned from nature.
