I enjoyed this vivid imagery – perhaps the moon is reflected in a garden pond?…and itself reflected by the white flowers…beautiful.
I love the way this haiku complements and echoes another chrysanthemum haiku by Hisajo.
mums
tansies …
she’s the golden flower
symbolic sun *
the chrysanthemum
undying love, fidelity
she touches my lips ~
given to my beloved
the chrysanthemums
unfolding petals –
chrysanthemum throne
sits perfection
