This is a classic in that it sets the standard we have for the lowly weed. As it translates to life, as it ought to, some are in minus territory in some folks eyes from the out set.

This really says a lot in just four words, and what's even better, it suggests more than is said. obviously, the "judge" is going to decide to yank that weed since it's growing in the garden. I like the way that last line introduces a new idea and is so final at the same time.

Your well-penned poem echoes my sentiments;
The other day in my garden as I was plucking weeds, I got to thinking that weeds in the garden are like people we don't wish to have in our lives;
Well stated; very true.

This is a very good haiku. Some say a weed is just a flower in the wrong place. Another interpretation is that the weed might just be pretty enough to compete with the garden flowers. If you really want to reach you might interpret this as marijuana and the owner of the garden is being done. Clearly a winner in my view.

A great attempt in this very challenging short form haiku, poetic contest. This could be as good as anything one is likely to see, but I think it's a worthy attempt! Well done, blessings Roy.

Well, this is short, and tiny, small, almost nonexistent on the page! I think it is funny and you have a grand sense of humor. Best of luck in the contest. AT=/

Pretty hard to believe you were able to take this challenge to heart and deliver a true mini haiku. Five syllables that hit hard on basic bigotry. It is funny how automatic the identification of a weed is. Never questioned.... well done.
