Saffron, eosin,
Stamens of autumn crocus:
So yellow! So red!

This actually is a haiku, with the obligatory seasonal reference (kigo) and
the break (English punctuation equivalent of Japanese kireji, "cut-word").
Whether it adequately expresses wabi-sabi is a question this Episcopalian
will leave to the Buddhists among us.
