Waiting for sunset,
even the weeds grow weary,
their clothes in tatters.

    It’s definitely the “changing of the guard” – as the seasons are morphing from autumn and fall fun to chilly silly winter snow fights in our neck of the woods – one minute it’s autumn, the next it’s shades of winter – I suspect we may see winter full on before the calendar says so. And what a lovely way you’ve described this for your neck of the woods. 🙂 Have a lovely day.

    This is WAY to pretty to be called a weed. It is pretty as a flower. Love the haiku…it fits perfectly. genie

    Wonderful haiku, MMT! 🙂 It mastches your wonderfully forlorne plant picture so beautifully too!

    An aside. Once in class I mentioned that I would love to have a century plant. One of my students went home, to Mexico, for the weekend and smuggled in a Mexican century plant for me when he came back.
    The seasons got it too, we had a harsh winter later and the cold got to it. My century plant died before its hundred years.
