Wow! Thank you for the six stars, Hitcher. And thank you very much for reading, my friend :)
...desolation? hahaha that sounds dark... I think I already have a bad rep with you. LoL
A reviewer said that he knew I was persephone goddess of the underworld, becuase I hang out with Dean Kuch... just wait until people find out I am teaching another King of horror. LoL

Comment from judiverse
Why is it the weeds that are the resilient ones? I just read Robyn's poem about kudzu. It is so hard to get rid of and practically takes over the landscape. The weed would be an eyesore, but in a vacant lot what can you expect? Not much chance for beauty there. Sometimes the weeds can pop up in a crack in the sidewalk. They soak up that sunlight and manage to survive. Great observation. judi

True, it's common to find weeds in a vacant lot. This is a true occurrance. I was walking home when I noticed a little weed pused against a fence... growing out of concrete and dirt... it looked so ... desperate ... LOL I felt bad for it so I wrote a haiku in its honor.
Thank you for reading, my friend.

You're welcome. I suppose we've gotta have weeds, but they are an annoyance. judi

Gypsy,
A lovely haiku about a yucky topic. *smile* I like this one, sister. It has a great story that I can picture and a great visual, even without the image. Thank you!

Good entry for this chapter, my friend. I would think this one will make it into the book. Clear imagery in your first two lines and a great satori. Well done

I like 'weed soaks sunset rays' - unique imagery. Your haiku has an great overall picture and 'aha' moment. It is the required kigo and is perfectly written:)

Comment from Sis Cat
Yes, those resilient weeds soaking up sun in vacant lots are an unwanted eyesore, but as long as the lot is not developed, hey. Squatters! This is a perfect little weed haiku which makes me excited to write my own from the perspective of Mexico.
Thank you, Gypsy, for sharing and inspiring.

Comment from Rasmine
Cool haiku. Short, precise, to the point. Love the satori! In my mind's eye, I see old parking lots with weeds sticking through cracks in the cement.
I will write another and post it to the multi-author book. :)

Comment from Lindagail Hall
What did I feel and think. To me the message is clear weeds are strong blighters that grow where one doesn't want them. I thought it was a wise write where it's easy to understand for us that are unsure of the object, of this style of poetry. I've read a few of these this last week from cumulus, and Dean who informed me of your challenge you've set yourself. I was amazed at Cumulus doing writes on binding ivy I was amazed how you are able to get great poets doing a few writes on the same topics. Using the 5/7/5 count. I don't think you needed the picture, I understand why you've used one and it does fit extremely well with your strong words.

Your very welcome, I really like these poems as one is restricted with words.
Comment from SeanFox16
Great little haiku you wrote there. Them resilient, pesky weeds is damn right. No matter how many times you get rid of them, they always seem to come back stronger. And they have a habit of growing in the most obscure of places, like the gutters on the roof, which is really annoying when you have to borrow the neighbours ladder to get up there. :-) Thanks for sharing and best of luck with the book.

This is a good Haiku poem.
Each line is the correct syllable count: 5-7-5
You summed up what you wanted to say in just three short lines.
The message is clear.
Great artwork: The image is beautiful.
The author's notes are appreciated.- Thank you!
Thanks for sharing your poem.
Good luck with your future writing!
