Brooding
Broken pot, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona
by the garden path
an upside down flowerpot
cottage for a toad*
this brooding, half-tamed country
beastly briars, wicked weeds

What rich imagery and a beautiful real pic Mark!Beautifully completed :-)Thank you for sharing your lovely Haiku for this challenge.
when i looked at the photo i thought what a strange looking pumpkin, SMILES.
I’m trying BLOG HOP at Lunch Break, please stop by and share a link.
A happy Saturday to you
much love…
Great job!
wonderful completion of Mark’s tan renga ~ thanks ~ carol, xx
and not many toads, I’ll wager….
You’re right: not many toads in the desert!
I hope that it wasn’t a beastly briar that demolished the toad’s home…
It may very well have been! 😉
oh, lovely completion. ☺
Believe it or not, ‘beastly briars and wicked weeds’ are God’s way of saying ‘I love you.” Nice completion!
You’re kidding, right? Please tell me you’re kidding. Please.
No, I was serious. All plants are useful, we just haven’t figured out their uses yet!
You sound like Ralph Waldo Emerson: “What is a weed? A plant whose virtues have never been discovered.”
I couldn’t have said it better myself!
Those old Transcendentalists come in handy sometimes! 😉
Great imagery, both in your choice of subject and in your words.
The shadow makes a beautiful design to a plain pot.
Have a blessed Sunday.

A shadow of it’s former self.
Wow that is powerful, what a great finish! An unexpected direction, too.
