Thank you, again, Lee. I do see what you mean. I committed another Tontoism! Yikes!
I also understand the bit about the mini-series haiku. My concubine was one of those. You did not garner from it that she opened herself to the Emperor while his wife slept? Ack! A mini-series, for sure...never mind...lol.
I'm happy the finches planted some of their kisses on you.
The passion flower, with all the lore behind it, hanging on a wooden cross trellis with its head down, did spur that haiku. I just need to find a way to say it, I guess. Or, perhaps I should say it in a different form, perhaps a cinquain...that might work. (excuse me while I think out loud)
Now I must stop slacking and re-visit this later. Your help is appreciated more than you can possibly know. Oh, and another thing--hearing how rare a good haiku is, has made me relax a bit. Hearing about the life-span of a poem published on the net as opposed to hard copy gave me the willies! LOL...
Kathy
