So full are the vines,
ten thousand workers cannot
gather the harvest.

      No, all the inspiration you need is hanging on the vine—nothing mystical or magical about that!

    beautiful! I love the use of ten thousand. It’s very Ray Bradbury-esque.

        Bradbury wrote very poetically. It’s one of the main reasons I am attracted to his work. So often he goes into beautiful, image rich descriptions. He also uses the phrase ten thousand to describe, basically, an uncountable number. It’s almost a writing tic for him. I dunno, I just love that about him. And this poem reminded me that I could use a little Bradbury short story reading tonight. So thank you. XXOO

    Very nice. I read the haiku before seeing the photo and thought instantly of bees–sometimes it seems they need so many to get all the nectar.

    Indeed! there is something so promising in seeing bunches and bunches of unripe grapes getting fatter and fatter on the vine.
