    I, too, always wonder what stories the gravesites hold.

    "All the untold stories" really speaks to me. I so love peoples' stories.

    So much meaning when the Susie's photo is mated with your words. Nicely done.

    Some things don;t need to be told, but work better as memories, under that golden carpet. Lovely reflection of the picture.

    I hope I can always remember those three words: "memories in bloom" when I see graveyards.

    Karen, this is a great employment of words to capture this image, especially the bit about the flowers, so pretty!

    What a beautiful haiku and fits my photograph perfectly. If only we could hear the stories and know the memories scattered among the flowers. I took this picture in Galveston, Texas. Every year they let the yellow wildflowers bloom. It is really breath taking and makes me feel good to know that every grave gets a live bouquet.

    Karen,

    A very fitting Haiku with great untold stories at the heart of the location.
