after his divorce,
caused by lack of wealth and love,
he plants pale white mums
and bleak crimson shade ivy 
woven through trellis and rope

-Japan use white chrysanthemums to symbolize grief.

-Mums can grow on trellis. Attach them gently sideways and tie them down to the horizontal trellis.

KAKE KOTOBA is a Japanese poetic form that uses poetic devices (personification, alliteration, metaphor, imagery, juxtaposition, etc ... ). FORM 31 SYLLABLES OR LESS IN FIVE LINES. The poetic devices are like hanging words building a bridge between two images. Better translated as: Pun, word play, words with a double meaning, very much like haiku or senryu but in five lines.kake kotoba Wikipedia

Thank you very much for taking the time to read and review my poem.
