blooming peonies
flower of riches, honor
odoriferous
.
the secret sender
sweet passion, admiration
budding peony
.
the king of flowers
hiding the mischievous nymphs
from the lust of gods
.
sent through the window
of heart, a bunch of botans
for the beloved
.
blushed pink and purple
the face of the young maiden
peony colors

Lots flowing with the peony leading to my favorite…the last one…the hue of blushing maidens. Lovely! I read about the nymphs too but just didn’t linger in my brain. Glad you wrote about them 🙂

I am speechless … and that says something 🙂 I like your haiku skills and the way how you’ve gained your own style in writing haiku. The third haiku is my favorite. Thank you for participating in Carpe Diem. You’re so welcome with your haiku.
