Margherita,

I think this is a true haiku, not only mechanically but with expressing man's melding with nature for inner peace.

I love this so very much.

I'm looking! I'm looking! ~ I'm still looking! ~ and it's pure, floral beauty is reconciling me with the world!

Lovely poem! Lovely lotus! Lovely you!

Loveya, my dear Dolphina!

it would take longer to describe all the things right with this than the words you used to write it...love the pic...accentuates and reinforces your craftsmanship

Yo dear Margherita,

Needless to say, we don't have flowers like that here in the hood. All our flowers walk on two feet. They're beautiful too.

Nice poem and picture dear.

Love Bobby

Exquisite haiku. The sentiment and your picture compliment each other beautifully.
