"Haiku"

I have long admired the simple, yet eloquent power
of haiku poetry.  This piece is a visual haiku --- 3 pieces
of cloth symbolizing the 3 lines of the verse.
Each piece of cloth is distinct, yet integral to the feeling
of the whole piece.  The colors were chosen to emanate
a sense of peace and serenity, which, to me,
is the emotion of haiku.
