A lovely 5-7-5 poem! It is amazing that such a beautiful flower can emerge from the mud and show us how to reach for the light both physically and spiritually. Best wishes in the contest!

Thank you for sharing this contest entry with us. I have only seen a few lotus flowers in my life, but they are gorgeous. This poem is very symbolic as to how through muck beauty can still survive. Good luck with the contest.

This reminds me of DH Lawrence's quote: "The fairest thing in nature, a flower, still has its roots in earth and manure." Yours is beautifully versed and presented. Good luck! Debbie

the lotus flow is a cool flower - it's my third fave (after daisies and cherry blossoms)

nice haiku with cool pics and great colours

one suggestion i have is to maybe find a synonym for through?
just a thought :)


thank you for sharing!
shelley :-)

It is amazing how such a beautiful and delicate flower would come from the murky depths and then turn into something so pristine. Shows how always looking up can help you grow. Gretchen
