A red daisy resting
among pebbles harboring
a thousand emotions within.
Conscious of tears
hidden behind kohl lined eyes
tulips bow their head.
I have loved you
regardless of barriers that obstruct
blooming of roses.

I enjoyed your haiku so much. My favourite is the last, which I relate to but they are all lovely❣️
Thank you so much, Ellecee 😀 so glad you enjoyed it ❤️
They’re all enchanting. My very favourite is the last.
Thank you so much, Rosemary 😀 so glad you liked it ❤️
They are all beautiful, but I am especially drawn to the one about tulips.
Thank you so much, Susie 😀 so glad the poem resonated with you ❤️
First, I just say that the title reads like a poem–flowers have a way when it comes to emotions, methinks.
The last line of the first poem made me wonder about where the thousand emotions come from. And then, I thought, perhaps from being a flower alone… or from being a bloom surrounded by rocks… or from having lost rooting. A thousand emotions, indeed…
I love how the second poem takes the droop of the tulip and turns it into feelings. I’ve always thought that flowers look sad when they are bending, but after reading this… I wonder if they aren’t just trying to hide their faces.
And the last one *sigh*… the color of your chosen image, the way it continues to shine so red as it waits to be accepted is just lovely.
Awww gosh! ❤️ Thank you soo much, Magaly 😍 for the meticulous reading and for the kind and lovely comment!❤️
(and thank you for the wonderful prompt) 🌹
Sanaa- I love that you have given flowers emotions. I recently planted an olive tree and I talk to it (and my other beauties) daily! So so lovely.
Thank you so much, Linda 😀 so glad you enjoyed it ❤️
My favourite image is the kohl eyeliner on the tulips.
Thank you so much, Kerry 😀 so glad you liked it ❤️
Yes, my favorite is the last, but not more than the others!! Thanks for your comment on my post.

All good but I like the image of the first best.
Thank you so much, Cressida 😀 so glad you liked it ❤️
These are all beautiful, especially the last one.
Thank you so much, Jenna 😀 so glad you enjoyed it ❤️
I love the open-endedness of the title, Sanaa! It leaves the reader with something to think about and searching the haiku for answers – at least, that’s what I found myself doing!
I love the idea of a red daisy resting among pebbles and the romantic quality of the rose haiku, but I am most particularly drawn to the tulips, my favourite flowers, and I love the tears hidden behind kohl lined eyes.
Awwww gosh! ❤️ Thank you so much, Kim 😀 so glad you liked it! ❤️
