Moves in tandem to the sun’s
Flower of reason
For posterity

Enhanced in colors

ReplyDeleteLovely words, to accompany a beautiful flower. I so love sunflowers! They are so hopeful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful connection to Van Gogh.
ReplyDeleteWow! Hank this is a wonderful set of haiku. I love the way how you have Van Gogh connected with the Sunflowers. Thank you for sharing on Carpe Diem.
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely tribute to the sunflower!
ReplyDeleteI like every one of Van Gogh's paintings. He probably is my favorie artist. You did it well, Hank, painting it with your words in six lines.

ReplyDeleteI love sunflowers and Van Gogh...
Amazing!!!
A pair of lovely haiku.
ReplyDeleteI like your flower of reason.
About Van Gogh, I must say I don't like his sunflowers, any of them; they are dull.
Great haiku, tandem to the sun's is very original.
ReplyDelete...for posterity. That is so true as I rarely look at a sunflower without thinking "Van Gogh"
ReplyDeleteSunflowers and Van Gogh...love your reference in this piece. Great Haiku
