This one short poem left me with a breath of satisfaction. I could wrap myself up in the thought of lavender scents. This was a beautiful description. Thank you for sharing. Gretchen

    Thank you very much, Gretchen, I'm so happy you like it and keep an open mind to diverse haiku. Actually, in Japan most haiku are one line. But in the West it's 5-7-5 cookie cutter haiku.

    Have a wonderful weekend, my friend.

Gypsy,

IMHO your one line Haiku would be better if you switched your lines. I sense that the dreams are tangled in the lavender and not the reverse.

This poem is so simple yet, so eloquent. Sometimes simple is better, at least I think so. You say so much, yet so little. Thank you for sharing this poem with us. I enjoyed reading.

love the smell of lavender... so calming...
this was a great one-liner that says so much in-between the words!

suggestion- maybe put the bottom pic all the way to the bottom of the "post box"- so it looks like it's growing out of it... eh just a thought lol

thank you for sharing
shelley :)

Oh I like this one liner, Gypsy. It is so eloquent in its meaning as your choice of lavender really adds depth and meaning... I have always thought of lavender as a shade of melancholy, but you seem to use it as sensual. Well done.

Lavender is good for dreams. Lol. You know how much I like lavender and lavender oil keeps my bedroom smelling sweet. My granddaughter hangs out in my bedroom because she says it smells nice there.

    Thank you, big sister. I love lavender too. My favorite Yankee candle is lavender lemon.

    Love,

It's hard to write a long review about such a short poem, but I'll give it a shot. You packed a punch with those few words. This poem had a kind of dreamy feel to it. The word "lavender" was well-chosen. I had never heard of a one-line haiku before, but I imagine this is one of the best. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.
