I have always found the geisha girl gracious and humble looking . What is the tradition of a geisha girl? is she like an escort for a man in traditional Japanese culture?
Your words with the accompanying photo are very effective you certainly are the queen of the haiku Gypsy
It's all about well chosen words hey well done

    Thank you, Dr Dip :) Geishas are entertainers and highly educated in all forms of art. Some include sexual entertainment to their repertua but it's they choose. I am conflicted about this issue. But I am not Japanese so I can't posssibly fully understand what it's about.

I am becoming more and more of a fan of the traditional haiku, Gypsy. I really like this one which focuses on the lotus flower. Nice use of S-alliteration and consonance to enhance the mood. Rod
