unable
to get hibiscus red
the artist eats the flower
flower becomes the artist
artist becomes the flower
Fr. Raymond & Cie
Notes:
The Hokku (Haiku) stanza was created by Father Raymond Roselip (1917 - 1983), a Catholic priest who has been rightfully recognized as a twentieth-century master of English Haiku.
The Akegu (two-line closing stanza) was created by yours truly.
