quiet
the quiet . . .
white chrysanthemums
full of moonlight
Happy Thanksgiving to all those who'll be celebrating it.

Grand!

Devika, do you know Buson's
chrysanthemum growers—
you are the slaves
of chrysanthemums!
Which once inspired me to write
reaching for my pen
at the first chrysanthemum—
a slave to haiku!
Thanks for the visit, Devika, John, and Magyar. And thanks for the wishes, John.
exquisite, bill.
and a happy holiday to you and yours...
How beautiful! I like the expression "full of moonlight" very much.
We don`t celebrate Thanksgiving here but I hope that you and your family had a wonderful day.
Best wishes,
Angelika
Polona, Vaughn, Angelika, my deepest thanks.
Oh I missed to reach back here...
"chrysanthemum growers—
you are the slaves
of chrysanthemums!" ---
but i grow many other plants as well...and have many other work to do too, Bill...
i cannot just afford to be a slave of chrysanthemums :)
Buson's haiku is lovely, though..
wishes,
devika
your haiku is lovely ...
i love this one ... why 'full of' and not 'filled with' ... i know you will have made the choice ...
i am not suggesting it should be but would love to know ..
as always, lovely poetry Bill >>> Gina
I like the way the first line sets the scene and the second two reinforce it.
Thanks, Gina and jem. Gina, I wanted to suggest that it looked as though the moonlight were part of the chrysanthemums' essence, and I felt that "full of" said this more clearly.
