    My mom's favorite flower was the gardenia. And anytime I smell that scent, I think of her. It's amazing how certain scents can trigger deep memories. Thank you for sharing your sentiments.

Beautiful jisei poem for the Japanese club challenge. I love the presentation and the composition of your jisei is perfect...very zen. Good syllables count and connection between lines.

June, This post has a beautiful aroma. Words and artwork flow together in a nicely wrapped package.

Even after the flower has wilted/withered, its scent can still be 'sensed.'

This is a lovely presentation, June.
The image and color scheme are
perfect for your well thought out
words. I believe this poem could
be about the actual flower, or
a woman who's gone from her
lover, husband etc.
Respectfully, Jan

I didn't know of this form. How wonderful, to capture final thoughts before one's death. How much more wonderful when such words as this poem, issues forth ~ a reminder that each of us will leave this earthly body ~ yet all of us will leave something ethereal and eternal as well.

Beautifully penned!

I wasn't familiar with this type of poetry but it is a good reminder that our life can be remember in a positive way even after we no longer live as a part of this world.
