Carpe Diem Haiku Dead Chrysanthemum


Dead chrysanthemum
Though all its form has vanished
The picture lingers

Snow of winter gone
Sunlight and an empty sky
Flying seeds like snow

Dead chrysanthemum
Discarded, the grave naked
No fragrance, just death



Dead chrysanthemum
How do you do with no soul
Or is it fragrance?
