    1. Actually it was I believed and felt from Basho's haiku. The wandering crow is a beggar.. and somehow I did not want to use a plum tree, but use the double meaning of the flower.

  8. A great response Björn it's a different "way" you took in this prompt ... I wasn't aware of the meaning of a wandering crow .... but you turned that meaning in a great way with this gorgeous haiku.
