Serenity
Flows from hearts to fingertips
Elegant brush-strokes

You have a style of haiku that seems very much yours, which is great. I wondered if there was a touch of conflict here in thought between serenity and elegant: giving two separate ideas…if the word ‘in’ was used instead of ‘international’,’ for example, the idea of serenity becomes stronger. Only opinion of course.

Oh…just saw…the haiku is faithful to the quote — my apologies.
