This Haiku flows beautifully - rolls off the tongue -lovely alliterative and 'c' and 't' sounds and captures the effect of the passing of time in a concrete format

Your haiku is very visual and I could easily imagine the scene. I admired your use of alliteration to intensify the message. Cheers- Joan

Great visual imagery. The vines are prettier than trees. I hate to see it especially on the sidewalks. You look for a wrecking ball and see a tree. Good alliteration with C and T Words. Nice work :)

Great imagery with an abundance of vines overtaking a crumbling brick wall, Teresa. Your satori is thought-provoking and loved the alliteration. Great form for the chAllenge.
Smiles,
Karyn :-)

I have planted ivy and I know had those vines can take over. Additionally, you can't get rid of them. They do consume the wall, the walk, the hillside.
Excellent satori line to complete this well written haiku.

Well done Teresa
Blessings

Hello, dear Teresa. This is a striking image and well portrayed with super word economy and superb alliteration of C and T. I like the satori. I am giving five stars, but it does have one glaring spag nit in that overgrowth is singular...and the verb acts on that word. So it needs an 's' on consume. Example edit:


overgrowth of vines
consumes crumbling brick wall
tangled in time


Excellent consonance of M as well.

Warmly,
rd

Hi Teresa - a good descriptive haiku which tells a true story of what a vine can do to a wall. Written in present time which is a prerequisite of haiku, describes a moment. I am not sure you have captured the season but I like the haiku. Good addition to the book - regards Dorothy x

    Vine captures the kigo (season) according Haiku experts--it has a meaning of 'all summer'. Thanks so much:)

great imagery, so many old brick type and wooden walls have been taken over by the green leafed vine that seems to out live everything around it. lol
I struggled a bit over the last though, whether it should be tangled in time or tangled by time
great haiku
