Rain pounds roses from

the earth; wind-swept flames wear them

as a scorched perfume.

    Love the juxtaposition of the forceful downward movement "rain pounds" with "roses." For a moment, my mind reads "roses" as the verb--don't think I've ever consciously made the connection between those two forms of the word. Cool, lush image. Hope you keep puzzling with this one, there's more for you to un-earth:) Congrats.

    The imagery and the creativity, and the way I can now smell and experience this language, is so special. What a wonderful haiku. Congratulations!

    this is quite solid though for sure. still I went to hell to obtain parts of mine. fought black eyed empty soul demons and am back to tell about it. blows my mind.
