To me, the best haiku tell a story outside themselves, speaking to us with a kind of universal language and imagery. This haiku really accomplishes this. How many of us are like that twisted flower, always looking for light - if only we could cut down the curtains we ourselves have placed there.
A very imaginative haiga Emma...

ReplyDeleteHi Emma,
ReplyDeleteI'm circulating this comment...
I was thinking of putting together a post of Solstice Haiku.
If everyone sends me a solstice haiku, including your readers, I'll put together something that we can all post at our respective blogs.
My E-Mail address is at my blog under Contact or, if interested, you can post it at my Guest Book.
nice technique Emma
