The rose is wilting
unattended far too long
you should have cared more.

Roses are beautiful, but delicate. Well done!

A quarter of a century must pass, for the writer to understand what and why he writes.

Sandra,
This is a beauty. I think someone should have tended to his garden with more care and love. This rose is too beautiful to be neglected...
Love, Elise

Haiku is a wonderful form. Although this deals with a sad subject, I hope you continue to post haiku.
