Thank you for introducing me to "bindweed" and letting me know "morning glory" is a kigo for summer. I liked the focus on a "new perspective" and the stunning presentation. Cheers- Joan

I find the colours jarring on my eyes which are not very strong, sorry, Gypsy. I don't like the pink, but on the upside, (should have started with the upside,) the haiku is outstanding. You have great images in the first two lines and the Satori is quite brilliant. Giddy

The younger generation may very well repeat its parents' mistakes, and that will make the parents all the angrier. The story will continue with the next generation.

Gypsy, I like this haiku and have to admit I never heard morning glory called bindweed. So, I learned something new. Thank you for that. Talk with you soon.

Hi Gypsy,

You sure have written an interesting poem. The beautiful flowers that you have put with it is also very nice too. You are great at writing poetry and I always love to read it.

Flowered henbit looks so beautiful as it makes waves up and down the hills in a sea of purple. Then, as it spreads throughout the winter and its blooms carpet by yard, they don't look so pretty. You've hit the "Nail on the Head," or "Pinned the donkey's butt," with the many different perspectives, and I have my own. LOL! Thanks for sharing another fine poem. :-)

Good haiku. I want to pop the flowers! LOL!

I found an error in your author's notes: Its fleshy white roots have amazing powers of recovery not (no) matter how zealous the gardener is in treating the shoots and digging out the weeds.

Peace and love,
rasmine

Ah-ha! (ain't that what you're supposed to say when a haiku "grabs ya", LOL?) -- I loved the double entendre in the phrase of your latest Haiku Club challenge offering, dear Gypsy.
Very clever...
Exceptional word economy, a multi-layered meaning, and a gorgeous presentation...what more could anyone ask of a haiku poem?
Excellent!

Very cool Gypsy, I never heard of this weed. It's actually very pretty and colorful, and so is your picture, beautiful. I love the whole thing. Kerry

    Hello, my friend,

    When I was a little girl, I liked picking flowers, only most of the time they were not flowers... they were pretty weeds.

    Thank you for reading.

Hehe is this a play on words? Morning glory takes on a couple of connotations
A pest to the Dad but a flower of romance to the son with glorious results. lol
Thanks for sharing
