full moon
we track down the redolence
of blossoming plums
-- Alegria Imperial, Canada
Votes: 13**** Points: 07
Comment: "rendolence" may call too much attention to itself, overshadowing the rest of the haiku, while a less-showy word like "scent" would convey the same sensory detail whilst keeping the focus entirely on the moment. But I like this one anyway.
