A randomly picked poem Richard, but I'm glad I did. This is so very cool. And it coincides what's happening around my house. My wife picked our concords the other week but then decided to cut off some of the wilder vines. After seeing the mess she had done I told her you prune grapes between November and February. It's not a bonsai. So I've been watching this 20 year old grape vine slowly turning brown. Very sad for me. But I'm happy to have read this poem Richard.

My grandparents have quite a few grapevines in their backyard. This reminds me of reaching for the really tricky ones and failing miserably. Thanks for the memory... you even managed to make more grape haiku, cool!

But that grape is aspired to be taken, I really loved your venture into the Haiku! It's harder than it looks isn't it? I do enjoy them, I just can't write them very well, so I have to be in the mood to attempt them! And you have done an exceptional job with this write! I loved it! Great Work!!

haiku are hard! [adjective are judgemental words and thus subjective, haiku is factual, sensory & objective] Thanks so much for stopping by my verses. Light & Love
