Religious poetry is usually as horrible as political poetry. Flowers do say it best. In this case, weeds.

You pulled off the "religious poem" marvelously.

Beautiful haiku. It would work well also to describe artichokes that have gone to flower.

BTW, love your hair. My son's was almost as long and so full, but then he had it trimmed to above his shoulders. I could have cried! *sigh*

Obliged Peter. I understand the artichoke is the more successful member of the family but I'm a big thistle fan. Even when they're dead they look cool.

Thx Lora!

Thx Jo. You've probably just been exposed to to much crappy online forum haiku. Real haiku exists. Like these over at the frogpond site-

It's not that dreadful 575 drivel that infests forums.
