Interesting and creative. I used to have a monthly job of cleaning the highway so it's safe to say that litter irritates me! You express the fragility of what's really alive compared to something artificial and man-made, that refuses to go away. Nice message to take better of our trash! I wonder what you could call this trio of haiku?

Damn. I felt very melancholy throughout this one. Excellent job!
