It can happen all of sudden (the poppy blooming) but then sometimes with the writing it takes a few tries and a few changes. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my p age. Sara

Nothing created by Man is perfectly done with the first try. Excellently written, my dearest friend, Lasaad. Be blessed.

I agree that one should reread and edit. I lost a chance in a contest though because I was too late. Pity.

Only when we re write and edit, the end product will bloom in beauty and glitter. Lovely and meanigful haiku.

You have made excellent use of your few syllables to describe the importance of being willing to "clean the slate" and begin again, Lasaad. Janice
