2. Love the sounds and images that come from ‘her silk kimono whispering prompises’

   • Thank you 🙂

3. wow those whispered promises.. exquisite

   • Yes… those one …

4. I really like the progression you’ve shown here. The informality of the women together, to the proper form of tea, and on to the small nuances of romance.

   • Oh, I could se myself as the suitor waitning somewhere.

5. this is a great set, Bjorn! loved them all!

   • Thank you 🙂

10. Adore the third one but all three are lovely!

11. Ah…you have captured the most romantic images of flickering lights and whisperings of all kinds and the ritual of love! You are so good at romance haiku!

    • Oh thank you.. yes I saw those whispering ladies, and a painter/poet standing in shadows looking.

    • Thank you my friend.

13. aloha Brudberg – “secrets under a spring lantern” – that brings up a great image, as does “deliberate movements” with tea. those create very strong images (imo). i like that. way cool. aloha.

    • Thank you.. It helps so much to work with pictures I think.. and I saw this in this in the picture.. and maybe the painter’s POV…

14. Secrets under spring lanterns… loved that! And her silk kimono
    whispering promises… is simply awesome. Bjorn, I think there is a typo in the word “promises” in your last haiku (these typos somehow creep in; it happens to me quite often) Overall, beautiful set of haiku and a great take on the prompt!

    • Ah thank you… and spelling mistakes I make all the time…

15. Even if it is through any misunderstanding; beautiful poetry has emerged, unscathed!!!
