This haiku, Spirit of the Lotus, presented in a 5-7-5 format, joins the renga and combines humanity, the rest of nature, and faith.

Aaaah.... from dragons to the blossoming hope of the human spirit: she must fight at times to hold onto that hope... Love the gentle 'follow-on' here to the previous, June - gives us a range of depth that only faith can provide! Thanx for sharing! ;) Yvette

A very well-written 5-7-5 poem in addition to the multi-author Renga book. The lotus flower reminds of the human spirit that is born from tiny seedlings of hope and flourish with faith.

A perfect addition to the renga book, and your artwork choice is inspired. It appears ethereal which is the essence of spirit and faith.

Excellent read today and many thanks for sharing. :)

I like this. It has a feel good vibe and goes perfectly with the art work. I am not sure but feel that flourishing might flow better that flourishes-it just seems to be a better tense.

June,
What an awesome poem, The words feel as they were all carefully chosen; the first line draws the reader in immediately.
The photo is abstract and very relevant to your beautiful poem.
Good luck in the contest,
Cindy

This is a cute little piece, I like that you ended it with an alliteration to wrap it up neatly. Great work on this Renga, thank you for sharing and for the added notes :) Later daze.
