Are mere blooms enough
to celebrate the exploits
of a daring soul?

They are symbols of the intent, the feelings, behind them.
A challenging thought! Beautiful photo perspective – almost at ground level!
not really, but they show how the person was loved. what a person leaves behind shows the vigor of life fulfilled…
thought provoking!
Wonderful message in your haiku ~ dynamic and rich ~ thanks, namaste, ^_^
Asks a burning question…I often wonder why I go to my family’s gravesite and plant flowers, but I guess it’s the ritual that’s the key…..thought-provoking photo and haiku
Yes, indeed… The feelings are exteriorised through the bouquet that is left behind.
Thank you for your continuing participation in Floral Friday Fotos.
What a wonderful picture and the haiku is very nice to read.
Well said…and beautiful photo.
A thought provoking question. I think for spirit, the sentiment with which it is given means more than the thing itself.
W lovely haiku, and a wonderful question. Thank you for taking a different approach to the theme.
I guess it is a place to start .
Great Pic & thought!
