emerging through muck

lotus flower pierces through

towards divine light




5-7-5 Poetry Contest contest entry


5/7/5 for the contest. It looks like a haiku but unlike haiku the 5/7/5 poem has only one rule, the syllable and line count.

The Lotus flower is an aquatic plant native to Asia. It's renowned as one of the most beautiful and sacred plants across various cultures. It grows in slimy filthy muck and blooms atop the water surface. It's a symbol of purity and transcendence. The lotus's ability to bloom from mud has led it to be revered as a symbol of rebirth and enlightenment, a testament to its resilience and beauty.

I prefer haiku for its simplicity and beauty. It captures the essence of nature in their words, using vivid imagery and sensory descriptions to evoke a sense of awe, tranquility, and harmony.

Thank you for reading and reviewing my poem.
