 ---- For Jaime, This is a small flower.I grew up calling it a Moose Berry Flower, I think there is a name for it that is less fun. The flower is small and nestles into leaves and grasses.It has four petals - which are kind of ivory shaded.There is a drop of water on a stem of dead grass. The Haiku says: A drop of water, boreal flower dainty, shyly hides in leaves. --- A |

Wish I could see the picture.  But the haiku is beautiful. "too bad ignorance isn't painful" |

Alison, I think that delicate, flowering beauty should be named the "Arctic Alison".  It's pure and sweet and stands out from the wildness around it ~ and it is delicate, yet enduring ~ and very endearing! Love you! Linda  |

You know what dear Alison? Robert is so right, you do write from a pure and lovely heart, you can see it in your poems and you can see it in your beautiful smile! Okay that's it, I'm probably not very good at it, but I'm going to post a haiku. This was really cool! Rich |
