Experience is a brutal teacher....but you learn...my god, do you learn....


Pure Stargazer
Grown into the world as clean as the driven snow
Your silk soft petals untainted by the blood of the broken
Pure Stargazer
I envy your ignorance
Unknowing of the worlds torturous ways must be bliss
You sit and soak in the crisp summer sun
Pure Stargazer

I saw a just sprouted stargazer lily outside my window and it inspired me.

As I understand it haiku format is: 5 syllables 7syllables 5 syllables This poem, while very good, didn;t match that format at all. However, it is a beaufitul piece of work.
