At Carpe Diem, Kristjaan challenges us to create an all new haiku inspired on the haiku of an "archive-choice". So here is my new haiku 2019 worked from a 2015 haiku.

  6. Apparently, this is a game of French origin. With 11 petals you can determine the outcome by choosing "loves me" or "loves me not" as the first line.

  12. Interesting shift in perspective--in the original each petal feels like a story being released, in the more recent poem I'm left with the impression that love itself is being (almost mechanically) put to the test.

  16. Picking petals saying: she loves me, she loves me not was a bit of a risk as it was even money chance either would win. It was far better to have a buttercup place just under the chin and if you liked butter (with a yellow reflection) you were a match!

  24. I enjoyed both of these, Gillena - though the second piece, with its whimsical hope of a test for 'loves ardour' had an enchanting young-love innocence to it that was so charming pinned to a simple daisy (which, for some reason, I think of in terms of youth).
