gone from the forest the flower I knew only by touch

Padma, I really enjoyed your haiku. The thought of knowing the flower by touch is a twist on what I expected. Thank you!
A nice tribute variation on the Paul O. Williams classic haiku.
Peter, Which is the one from Paul O. Williams you are talking about? Could you share it here with us? Thanks.
Padma, Breathtakingly poignant. Well done!
Hi Kala, Check Wikipedia under Paul O. Williams! You will find it there!
Beautiful
a warming suns breath flowers seen by sightless eyes her sun filled garden
__My blind aunt sniffed each spring's warming breeze, as the flower scents painted her vision's… memories. _m
