Commendable post, Kerry. The Artwork is awesome, and the message is crystal clear. As you know, "I'm outta 6-stars. However, your post is most deserving of
it. Sorry, my dear friend!

Virginia Creeper ... more like Virginia Take-Over. :) Wow, what a picture! This creeping vine has really invaded every square inch of the surface of this structure.

I especially like "peeks in window". Yes, soon it would cover the window completely and then the "world darkens".

Well done, Kerry!

Virginia as in the state or the name? Anyway, nice image, I enjoyed your poem. As a possible correction, isn't the syllable count supposed to be 7/5/7?

The Virginia Creeper vine is a fast growing, red-tinged vine that swallows nearly everything it takes root to--at least to the best of my knowledge.
Having said that, I get the irony in the concrete imagery created in your first two lines.
And it's only logical to assume that if the Virginia Creeper is covering everything, it would indeed blot out the outside world by covering the window casements as well.
Nicely done, Kerry.

Yes, Kerry, if the Virginia creeper peeks in your window, your world will darken because it wound mean the creeper has covered your house. You'll need garden shears to escape. This is an effective and precise haiku I enjoyed immensely. Thank you for sharing.

That's an interesting vine. I guess even nice looking plants can be destructive if too invasive. Good choice of words using the "creeper" part of the name to create a dark, horror effect.

Boy....is that Kudzu??? I hate that stuff, though yours is pretty, LOL.

The haiku is perceptive and dead on in its description. You did a nice job. I love the image, too. Is it yours?

Good stuff.
