Good job, Chrissy. I really enjoyed this. Image is perfect for your words. You're right--the simplicity and juxtaposition of the gorgeous elegance of the flowers with the coffee jar "gold" are priceless. Marilyn

Hi Chrissy. I love homey things like that. I have a perennial garden. Right now I have lovely peonies in a blue bottle my mother gave me. Marilyn

Cute idea- I like it when a writer can turn such a tiny poem with so few words into something interesting such as this. Well done.

Beautiful flowers, nice
coupling of words with
the picture, yes even
your satori makes one stop
and think, there is
beauty in something that
seems so far disassociated
with the flowers. Good luck
with the contest. Lora

Hi Lora, I appreciate you time to read a d review my Haiku and Thanks you for your lovely comments and good luck message. I loved the image and saw a Haiku straight away . Gold rose gold label HA Ha. Cheers Christine😃

I like the 'vase' too, it's a pretty jar, and the label really adds to it! You could almost change the second line to not mention coffee, but say 'in brightly-hued arrangement'.
Followed by your great Satori line. But, it's a lovely Haiku as-is, of course.
Well done!
Carol

Exceptional

G'day Christine. Now that we have dried the house and shoveled out the mud I can do some reviewing. One of the boys found my sandal that went for a swim, in the flood, under the next door4 neighbors car so I can walk again hahahaha!

Anyway, enough babbling....

Loved the poem and loved the picture. I don't think I've ever owned a vase, I just recycle everything, such as coffee jars and use them, so this well written little piece struck a chord with me.

Quality stuff mate.

Cheers Fez

No probs mate. Hey, I didn't even notice that it was in a contest until just now. Sadly I can't vote in it, but I reckon you've got a winner here and I wish you luck.
