    Very good! There is much meaning behind this haiku. It call it so for it meets all the requirements of one.
    The ending of the poem tells much: A dry flower, wow!

    Wow, what a beautiful and touching poem! I love the simplicity of it and how you were able to capture the beauty of a seemingly mundane moment. The idea of finding a dry flower in your bag is so poetic and it really made me think about how even the smallest things can be beautiful and meaningful.

    One suggestion I have would be to maybe play around with the structure of the poem a bit more. It could be interesting to see how you could incorporate some rhyming or a more specific rhythm to help enhance the overall flow and impact of the words.

    Overall though, I just want to say how much I enjoyed reading this poem. It truly was a beautiful and uplifting reminder to appreciate the little things in life. Keep up the amazing work!
