you fled the backyard garden
to consort with weeds

    Those corns, never could trust them to stay in their own backyard. I heard the weeds are strange and not good for anything productive. Have a great and woderful day and the week ahead.

    Peace

    Wow! the fickleness of a well tended garden. How dare it! LOL
    There was a word in your haiku I did not know. Kudos to you for making me look it up.

    I believe that this is the first time I’ve ever read a poem using the word pertinacious! Haikuriffic!

    This one looks a bit like the beginning of a corn stalk though I doubt that is the case. Such a nice green….and it is definitely out of place there in the middle of the weeks. Nice poem for this one. Seeing the sand in the yard reminds me of my childhood in Florida….lots of sand everywhere. genie

    How I love it when I see a word that I don’t know the meaning of, but now I do. Thanks.

    A non-conformist ear of corn. Love it!

    I also learned a new word here. 😉

    Great post. Weeds are stubborn and obstinate–maybe the corn wanted that trait to rub off on it. Your harku was great, and it was great fun reading everyone’s clever comments on your post. Have a terrific week. Mickie 😉
