plucking
petaled roses
the scent scatters
bees
buzzing loud
tasting the sweet
gardens
fully engulfed
flames of color
my
favorite flower
remains a secret
recently discovered haynaku by way of silent verses and another blogger, but cannot for the life of me find her blog… it is ravenswing; photo: chrissie2003, flickr; totally optional prompts this week flower poems.

Great picture. Like the verse too. Now I go and look out for haynaku!

Excellent — you have these great sense details and the last stanza opens the whole thing up into a larger point of view, into mystery. I like this form too but I’ve never tried it.

This is just breath taking, Where did you learn this type of Haikau? What is it called again? Do you have other examples of this beautiful form.
BTW, your poem is excellent! Just wonderful.

Love this – I’ve seen haynaku but haven’t tried any – you did a great job!

I like your use of the form – your poem reads like a string of individual beads, each beautiful in its own right and uniting to form a gorgeous necklace.
Awesome.

there’s no such thing as beginning at the beginning- just when would that be, and who would tell the story? but some moments in a life suggest a kind of punctuation: quick-stop comma, full-stop period, or the in between caesuras of semi-colon and colon. rosalyn brown, half a heart
