Litter

trash dump filled
little green sprouts from moisture
dies from fumes

trash emptied
fresh grass sprouts beautifully
something seen

a small can
glistening atop the grass
never dies

Timothy Hicks Date: 5/1/2013 12:07:00 AM 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? Login to Reply
