Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,
Autumn ... a season full of beauty in the broadest sense of the word. I love the colorful leaves, the bright full moon, but the most I love the Chrysanthemums with all the colors like a rainbow. There are a few haiku on Chrysanthemums I love to share here for your inspiration:
Drinking the morning green tea,
The monk is calm.
The flowers of chrysanthemum.
Bloom quickly.
The ninth day is very soon.
The chrysanthemum.

how terrifying
her rouged fingers
against the white chrysanthemums

Before the white chrysanthemum
the scissors hesitate
a moment.

Let's scatter
all the funeral chrysanthemums we have,
in the coffin

All wonderful haiku by classical masters on Chrysanthemums. I love that image by the way it's really a rainbow of Chrysanthemums. And I think you all will know other beauties, but today I love to challenge you to create your own Chrysanthemums beauty ... have fun!
in the backyard
gazing at the Milky Way -
white chrysanthemums
chrysanthemum tea
a whole new sensation
tickles my senses
