seeds

imaginative
seeds pierce the wilderness
would wild willows weep*
............................
seed of compassion
an eternity flower
and a crown of thorns
..........................
with ordinary seeds
the elements interact
breathtaking blossoms

    The second Haiku works best for my head. I like the christian images and can relate to them as analogy. Good stuff.

    I love the beauty that is possible when the elements interact. Thanks.

    "seeds pierce the wilderness"... the survival nature of seeds is awe inspiring. Very nice!

    I particularly like the juxtaosition of mental images in the second haiku - between flowers and thorns - these are all little gems!

    I like the revised phrase -- "would wild willows weep" -- it makes me think of a Buddhist koan.

    Each of these is lovely. I think the last is my favorite. I like your revised line for the first.

    I love the first haiku. To think of imagination as something so amazing that a willow would weep -- very nice.

    I think some of the most beautiful things are born of the ordinary. Enjoyed these.

    I especially like the middle one with its Christian imagery. It reminded me of the parable of the mustard seed.
