Zen 115

A Haiku Series

Roses are not red,

and are violets really blue?

Hue is rarely true.

This is a series.

This is submitted by permission from my Zen Master son. One of his early elementary school art work pieces in which I recognized the Zen Master within him.

He was an elementary school child, and at his age, violets sounds like two syllables.

This water color and haiku panel were a gift, and are among my most treasured possessions.
