Gray-Stoned Vineyard

vines grow free
the ruins crashed in nature
gray and green

I like it. Reminds me of Ozymandias. So you can be Shelley with grace and simplicity since vineyards are the works of mankind. Wonderful

If you want to make it a pure haiku, here is a suggestion. Vines freely sprouting. Archaic buildings crumbling. Grey stones shroud green shoots. Richard is right. This is a scintillating scene captured by your distinguished mind. I love the contrast! Man-made artifacts tumble down, forever gone; while nature recycles treasure from its trove. Enjoyed your verse!

I appreciate this one especially since seeing the ruins in Pompey just a few weeks ago.
