Carpe Diem Haiku Onitsura's Camellia



 
There might be red buds
I like the white ones better
And drink green leaf tea

Evergreens pull tears
Camellia assuages
The pain of mourners


 


 
Red camellia
Vase’s use and destiny
Lies in emptiness

  1. Strong black tea for me! I like the mystery and the possibility of a story in the last one!

  2. A destiny of emptiness? Is that good or bad, I wonder...

  3. Last one especially beautiful. Second one quite poignant. And lovely surprise of colors in the first!

  4. Your second vibrates with my feeling for camellias
