you are not the give up type, keep on keeping on... and you already know if you make a mistake i will not know it. it looks fine to ME and that is what COUNTS.. LOL
Don't be silly, your poetry is just as wonderful as your stories and photos, you rock in my reading list. I wanted to write a haiku in honor too, but life and stuff got in the way. I was even thinking (but never did) about leaving little haiku poems every single place I went over the weekend.
“Sometimes glass glitters more than diamonds because it has more to prove.” Terry Pratchett, The Truth.
“Embracing the Light
Collected bits of truth
Shimmering sparks
Shards of light
Merge
Healing
Restoring
Bursting Bright
Rising
in divine ecstatic flame.”
― Leonard Nimoy

Rearranging them quickly
Having more to prove.

I too say, don't give up - and I love best your first. :) I also think it was clever of you to find two such complementary quotes.

No, no, no... No giving up! Very ambitious tackling both the legends and I think you did very well!

Fantastic haiku and photos. I love the first one, "more to prove."
April 18, 2015 at 11:56 PM
No reason to give up. These worked well with the quotes

I like the way you have included the wisdom of both Nimoy and Pratchett in your description of flowers.

I wish I could say I appreciate Haiku.....

Oh no, never give up . . .
I am not as mellow with the Haiku though . . .
I appreciate the form, just like "anything Gail" much more!
