    The desert can be a cruel place – yet the flowers will bloom again, despite the arid heat. This is a reminder that the bloom will be on again…

    Hope springs eternal, isn’t that what they say?

    This picture is especially appealing to me because of the colors and the bokeh. It is absolutely beautiful. It won’t be too much loner before the bud will be blossoming out again. Lovely captures.

    For me your haiku captures both nature and our own life cycle. Couldn’t be better.

    A great haiku and like the use of the word ‘desiccated’. The mystery has resolved here in the last line!!

    That’s a great photo, and the haiku reminds of the grand cycle of life. Been fighting a battle here, but seeing improvement. Still hope to get together over the Winter.

    Take care and be well.

    Peace

    Funny how I haven’t heard that word in a long tie. It shouldn’t be so that our day to day vocabulary is so limited, but we (I) seem to fall into that habit.

    Even our dear flowers drop their seeds and return to brighten our days the next spring and Christmas. This photo is so pretty and the haiku matches it perfectly. After 30 minutes my thumbnail has not gone up on the site so here it is. Genie

    Beautiful as always. At least you follow the form in all of your Haiku. Well done.

    Why would you do this. What some poets are writing is not Haiku in any form. Only if they say that it is modern Haiku is it so. Your Haiku is beautiful. Keep it so.
