Oh this is so beautiful, Bill, and, at the same time, such an utterly sad haiku. The artwork goes so very well with your words. I know your going through difficult time at the moment. Ulla:)))

What goes on in the dark, may be hidden from view, but becomes evident in the light of day. Therefore Bill, be careful of not only what you do, but also of what you say.

Spooky! Wondering what the scheming hyacinth has been up to. I'm just hoping mine will bloom but not be overpowering in fragrance. Merry Christmas and hoping Kathy will be home soon.

Bill,

Another flowering post - nice going!

Your last line is a real clincher for me.

Mark

P.S. While your text color and its background are complementary and are paired nicely with your selected artwork, IMHO this combo's contrast is not perfect in my viewing.

The gorgeous, dramatic presentation was a prelude to the clouds and the hyacinth's lonely secret. As always, you pack a lot into a few words. This one is exceptional.

Lovely Picture. Nice poem. I have started a book for you and your wife. I hope this helps even a little. It is called "For Kathy". Jim asked me to do it. I am telling everyone to pray and send best wishes. It worked for Jesse, he is healing up well ahead of schedule. Can't hurt.:-) Karen

Hyacinth represent death. So this definitely gives the feeling of a murder or a death having taken place and nature witnessing it. Definitely unique. Good job
