Dew on last rose


:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::


winter morning -
a few dewdrops on
my last rose






:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::



the next morning :



first snow -
my last rose now
covered in white






This is the Camellia in snow !

I like this haiku, Gabi.
It is succinct, objective, makes good use of choshi (tone and rhythm). yugen (depth and mystery), and makoto (truth and beauty).

You write in a style respective of
the Japanese who gave us this medium.

Stunning haiku, as usual, Gabi.
I think that the key word is : (last). It is the pivot of this perfect haiku. I admire the simplicity in which you convey great ideas.
