Hello Milton, I like this Haiku immensely, especially as it celebrates blooms over grass. Best wishes, Brian

I have three flower gardens, so I claim this one for them.

Yep, I find it is the bottom line for most of what folks do with their front yards that doesn't involve the normal grass-growing. Thanks, gw.

It seems that the weeds can do so well on so little while the flowers do so poorly on so much but aren't those blossoms beautiful. I enjoyed reading your work. Your visit to my page was delightful. Sara

I like the thoughts behind this one. LOL..My husband always said that those little cherry tomatoes come on vines that grow outside the privy. LOL..Sara

Thank you, Sunshine. It looks better than the neighbor's yard, where he has covered his lawn with pebbles!
