weed | a poem in my pocket

naturally grown

plant tiny seed
in garden womb
grow like a weed
till out of room

when time is ripe
birth little sprout
stem stretches tall
leaves wave about

water with LOVE

nurture strong roots
let sun chase gloom
wait for the fruits
watch child bloom!

A tan renga where two poets play (CDHK challenge).

a dandelion
now and then interrupting
the butterfly’s dream

more than a moth on a weed—
sunshine’s harmonious muse

Linking with Carpe Diem Haiku Kai “power of words” theme: movement

“Haiku is the poetry of nature and nature is always in motion…” ~ Chèvrefeuille, CDHK host

summer daylight fades

earth turns away from sun’s face

weed bows seedful head
