a fragrant longing, said Princess Haiku

Spring orchid too large-
shy, my heart hides under white clouds
a fragrant longing

chrysanthemum shrine, said Princess Haiku

chrysanthemum shrine
offerings- a poet’s gold
this flower a dream

Spring rain on plum blossom, said Princess Haiku

behind a gate
this dazzle of plum blossoms
spring rain - my heart

still these spider chrysanthemums.. their purity. This post is dedicated to Stephen at the Painting Studio. Get well soon my friend.

what is a haiku
besides dreaming mind,
awakened a flower

another season of chrysanthemum begins, says Princess Haiku

Follow the journey of these newborn chrysanthemum seedlings with me.



chrysanthemum shrine
offerings- a poet's gold
was this flower a dream?

a white chrysanthemum, said Princess Haiku

No one spoke,
The host, the guest,
The white chrysanthemums.

-Ryota

what can one say before this beauty

such perfection
what can one say before this beauty?
another bud waits

another dream of a luminous magenta chrysanthemum

Pale fog of yet
another winter day.
Suddenly this star
of absolute magenta.
Surprise, said the
winter garden!

a Haiku Written in Autumn

The Eye of Chrysanthemum

falling asleep
a chrysanthemum dreaming
flash, a gold rain

Entrances to the Temple

I found an entrance
to the temple, said Princess Haiku
blue, an open door

sleep, chrysanthemum

sleep, chrysanthemum
in my arms fall storm all night
this gold sanctuary

spring orchid too large
shy, my heart hides under moon
this fragrant longing
