WATER LILY


Not all plant inhabitants in the bog are killers.
Some are simply beautiful and benign - like this water lily. Something about lilies makes me think of haiku. 

Wait...I feel...I feel...inspired!

Floating Nymphea
Elegant; ephemeral
capturing the sun.

OK, I admit it. It's much easier feeling inspired to write a haiku after seeing water lilies rather than, say, paint a large impressionist mural depicting them.  How easy is it? Well, why don't you give it a shot.

In case you don't remember, Haiku is an ancient Japanese form of poetry that has the following structure: first line 5 syllables, second line 7 syllables, third and final line 5 syllables.

Please write a haiku based on your observations of the water lilies in the photo above as your comment to this post. 

Arigato!
