An Old Bible (Senryu)

Ms. Hellon, I love your haikus and senryus very much!

What an evocative little piece, Hellon. Well written, as ever!
All the very best,
Ben

Oh wow what a short sweet poem....
For the first time I understood a senryu...

I'm absolutely in love with this. With just these few words you've managed to create a whole scene. A lifetime, really. Just picturing when the flower was first given/put there, when the Bible was, perhaps, still new. You leave the reader wondering who the Bible/flower belonged to. A loved one? Mother? Grandmother? Lover or sibling?

A sad, beautiful write.
I always enjoy reading your work.

Excellent!
