I like your poem - good presentation - very colorful picture - good haiku poem - paints a good picture of the flower being weighted down by the rain drops - forcing them to bend in reverence to mother nature - nice wording - good job

This is another of your eloquent Haku's. Great image of mums bowing.
The colorful graphics are very striking.
Have you published a book of your beautiful poetry?
You should.
Have a wonderful weekend,
Blessings,

Hi Gypsy, I love this haiku. Good imagery. I especially liked:

mums bend in reverence
(So respectful of nature.)

Awesome presentation. I like how your lettering goes from
dark pink to light pink. This poem made me smile. Keep the
blue waters flowing. LateBloomer

Hi Gypsy,
firstly, stunning presentation with the colour and visual impact.

I'm not sure if I am off the mark in assuming the 'mum's' reference refers to a mother's day flower the chrysanthemum? Which would fit the message in juxtaposition of image.

Well, until informed differently that's my take, as it fits perfectly in with the word play in the ambiguous manner 'mums' could be interpreted... and well, mother nature always has us in awe.

I do love that something so limited in space and form can make one use their mind to float with the writers clever word construction... this one has an echo(((((((((((((((.

With our thoughts we create...
respect in knowing.

Kind regards,
James.

    Thank you, James. You are correct.... mums are chrysanthemum. Im glad you like it. I love haiku because it's a visual art expression... to capture a moment in time...it's magical, to me. Take care, my friend.

Those flowers with the larger heads fill up with the rainwater and can look very stooped. I like that you describe it as reverence to mother nature. We all need humility and gratitude to flourish! Lovely haiku!!

    Yes, I thought it's a strong image. It's sad when the flowers droop :(
    I read that mums don't do well in the rain. Thank you for checking out my poem and for the great review.

    Mums do better than camellias. Camellias sort of "rust."
