It was one of those transition weeks for us again, moving between two themes, and so I picked a title that was interchangeable with both February and March’s directions. In this case, our Haiku focusses on the details in daisies, which are one of my favourite flowers. Hanakotoba (花言葉) the Japanese form of the language of flowers, considers the daisy as a sign of faith.
I love them for their simplicity, order and sense of calm they instil within.
Beauty, True
Fractal perfection
Nuance of nature; tiny
Instances of joy.
Petals, stalks, stamen,
Components of brilliance
Evolution’s gift.
Beauty, defined here
As bloom opens, beginning
Brief cycle of life.
For a joyous breath,
Life blossoms: transformation
Green to white, yellow.
Happy, this daisy
Truly unique; demonstrates
Earth’s diversity.
