    white tulip
    under the wind
    a broken stem

    I like the visual, but to a haiku you have used too many adjectives. Best is always focus on one subject, one adjective and make it as compact as you can
    Still a very nice imagery here.

    Beautiful Haiku, Susan, though I found it sad. I sure wasn't expecting to read that the stem broke.

    Keep bending into that wind, Sweet Friend, and don't ever let it break you.

    Sending love, light and prayer your way!

    poor little flower....
    It just doesnt seem fair when something so beautiful
    gets broken. Loved the haiku sister.

    Hope all is well with you

    I'm not really any kind of expert on Haiku but I thought this said a lot about nature and even people how they can break under pressure. maybe I'm reading too much into this.

    Lovely

    I have always loved how haikus are so visual with so few words. You have writen this very well. I could see the beautiful tulip swaying trying to stand strong against the wind then, finally, giving in to it's fate. Very nicely done!

    A beathtaking haiku. You write such wonderful nature poetry, always. This one makes me yearn for more flowers in springtime's basket of surprises.

    You paint a beautful, yet tragic, scene. I hope the long green stem is not a metaphor for your will; let nothing bend your will nor shake your faith.

    I hope you start feeling better soon.

    Hugs and kisses,
    Brazos

    Wow an emotional haiku. You've created something that gives a angry and sad feeling in just a few words.
