Thank for quoting the bouillon cube bit, it describes my journey in writing this poem. I started with a bouillon, a very LARGE hunk of bouillon - I've worked only on this poem for two days. Two days of blah blah blah until I remembered the haibun form. Then it all easily fell into place, I just had to dilute several pages of words with air.

Once I had finished the prose part, the haiku dropped into my consciousness, the fallen petal. Writing this was a mystical experience. Thank you for reading and your interest.
