Though beauteous bright
Unsung the desert flower
Born to blush unseen
There in the still air
Delicious perfume lingers
Lost flower’s love cry
Haiku version of “Full many a flower born to blush unseen and waste its sweetness on the desert air” Thomas Gray
For Ronovan Writes Weekly Haiku Challenge: “sing and flower”
Lovely! Both your haiku conjure fragrant and beautiful imagery. Well done, my friend, well done! ❤
