This a Brilliant haiku, Brooke! Your poetic fecundity is prodigious. There's nothing more to say except via a p.m. and that's what I must do. Peter

Beautiful and up-lifting poem! The beginning of new growth and new life! This was a "star" in your nature haiku(s)! You should start a book or another one of them(?) The picture is terrific with so much detail! Keep them coming!

Thank you, Deb. I posted another wildflower haiku today but am about ready to take a rest from the series and start on other poems for awhile. I need a break before I bore myself. :-) Brooke

Bore yourself? Hard to believe, but you do work like a crazy woman on this site. You deserve a break! Enjoy go smell some flowers! LOL

Hi Brooke I can just see these little 'silken filaments' flying in the breeze. It is a lovely choice of artwork. You are in a haiku mood. Cheers Gaye

Wow! Ok, I need to come up with another exclamation for good work! haha.
Dazzleme is one of my favorite photographers on fanart. That is fabulous and your words are even more eloquent.
I can see these on greeting cards. Do it! oh wait, just let me be the photographer. hehe
(I added two floral pics at fanart today) :-)
Blessings and inspirations,
Jewell

Jewell, it is late, but I will look at your portfolio tomorrow - you may just inspire a new poem. Thanks so much for your most encouraging comments. Brooke :-)

I don't want you to feel any obligations, just sharing that I had more work for you to check out.
Hope you have a fantastic night's sleep.
Keep smiling!
Comment from Amicus
This is an interesting one, Brooke. I have trouble getting a sharp visual here but the musicality of the poem is lovely and I get a keen sense of a smoothly flowing rich creamy milky substance when I drink in all your s's and f's, o's, ou's, p's, r's and ee's...it's a pleasant feeling evoked here for me with my ears doing most of the work.
Nice.

Comment from LauraKatherine
The photo intrigued me. I see the milkweed fly in the air in the spring (and sneeze) but I've never looked at it up close (or I would sneeze even more.) It is beautiful.
You've described it beautifully as well. I particularly liked the phrase "silken filaments." It conjurs up an image of light shining upon silk cloth, as well reminding me of the touch of silk.
As always, your careful choice of words promotes unity through sound (m, p, f, s).
I don't know if this is intentional or not, but I noticed that the first word (milkweed) and the last words (new life) are connected in a way. I guess I'm thinking of a mother's milk nurturing a new life as the milk pours forth to feed her baby. I noticed that the shape in the photo almost resembles a breast and the milkweed's silken filaments look like the breast tissue.
Excellent work. Can't see a thing to nitpick over, so I won't! Laura

I did not think of that whole breast thing, but I'll take credit for it anyway - I'm a regular symbolic genius!! :-) I like it. Thank you, Laura - I'm sorry you're allergic. I've picked milkweed pods with the seeds to decorate my home all my life :-) Brooke
Comment from BethShelby
What great descriptive words to express the little seeds that float from the milkweed pod. They really do swawn new life. All over my lawn where I would perfer only grass to grow. I love your haiku but I'm no fan of milkweeds.

I've never understood why people want only grass instead of free gorgeous flowers :-) Ah well. Thanks so much, Beth :-) Brooke

Like a flock of white egrets trying to escape the grip of little brown men. This is such a pretty poem and picture. Very well written and so well portrayed. Sharon
