Description
when you opened
my letter
were you surprised
my heart
fell out?
~ Michael Windsor McClintock [contemporary American poet]
* ----------------------- *
Bleeding Heart (Asian bleeding heart; lyre flower; lady-in-a-bath)
Lamprocapnos spectabilis ; Dicentra spectabilis ; Dielytra spectabilis
Family : Papaveraceae (Fumariceae)
While the bleeding heart doesn't look at all like the poppy flower, it really does belong to the poppy family. Originating from Siberia, northern China, Korea, and Japan, it is a popular sight in many parts of the world nowadays. This plant can spread itself to three feet across with profuse sprays of blooms.

A haiku is a short poem of very few words adapted from the Japanese with a unique style of lines and syllables (traditionally three lines of 17 syllables , 5-7-5, although modern haiku varies).
Traditional haiku concerns itself with nature; its close relative is the senryu which concerns itself with human nature, or social and personal relationships.
Although somewhat ambiguous, my title is therefore probably technically incorrect, but it is what came to my mind here, and I have retained it in all its inappropriate splendour ... my original macro image squared, and reworked with textures :)
