RE: The Only Sound :: Haiku of Japan #53
They do indeed. The entire flower falls at once, which is what gives it enough weight to make a soft thud when it hits the ground. It reminded the old Japanese of the head from a beheaded samurai hitting the ground, a meaning that shows up in many haiku. haha so I can somewhat understand that author's horror at the flower.
I'm glad to hear you are enjoying these haiku posts. Thank you for reading :)
