Haiku Silence Is the Star

Haiku Silence is a Star                                                                         Silence is the star Kissing a flower with dew Drizzling from starlight Silence in the night Is heard by budding roses Feeling the moment Daisies too listen As the dew falls from the stars Kissing their petals Sunflowers reach up To catch every drop that falls On each summer night Purple heather too Wait for the silent dewdrops Filling the meadow Peony blooms wait As ants and the silent dew Stars call the ants in the night Honeysuckle blooms Sparsely grow on desert sands Drinking up the dew Hear the silent stars Yes, silently, so silent Kissing each flower Listen in the night To star, flower love affair Stars and flowers unite   Author Nancy Lee Shrader   © 2009 Nancy Lee Shrader (All rights reserved)

I like this haiku string a lot! I just wrote a poem too for this contest. I experimented with repeated rhymes line by line. It wasn't easy but quite challenging.
