I love this haiku. It reminds me of a chapter in “Haiku Mind” - this search for inspiration. It’s not always easy. The image of “pinching petunias” is fabulous. I feel the strength in the search….
I doubt you were thinking of Seinfeld, Johanna, when you typed the words “serenity now,” but just reading them makes me recall a very funny episode…It brought a smile to my face.

Sometimes both are illusive, but you did well on this… I too adore “pinching petunias.”
