Haiku: Rouge Flower

rouge flower
runs from the altar
shedding tears

 Runaway Bride


Carpe Diem Special #23, Rouge Flower


Our Chiyo-Ni haiku for this Special is:

 koborete wa tada no mizunari beni no tsuyu

 the dew of the rouge flower
when it is spilled
is simply water

      perhaps for her, I was thinking more along the lines of runaway bride, got the idea from a tv show I watch

    I too used the rouge flower as a metaphor for woman.
