Luciérnagas (Fireflies)

To my knowledge, the "Haiku" is a literary technique for writing poems which comes originally from Japan.
Interestingly, the mexican "Juan Tablada" made a study of the literary form and applied it to the spanish language.

As to my image, it's an illustration of one of it's Haikus:

ENGLISH (roughly translated)
Fireflies.
They embroid the garden
Alternately
With a sequin in each rose...

ESPAÑOL
Luciérnagas.
El jardín bordan
Alternativamente
Con una lentejuela en cada rosa...
