That is pretty, Audrey. The ivy suggests to me someone who is over burdened with worldly philosophies and worldly wisdom. Thanks.

Thank you Wrath–I don’t write much haiku–but I thought I would give it a try–

This one strikes me having a lot to say.

I agree that there seems to be a message in this haiku. Lovely work.

Meaningful.

Nicely crafted. Lovely language. Good for the birds!

Great work, very interesting message.

Thank you Sheila!

Does Ivy have the ability to kill a tree. i know vines can be bad for other flowers, but is this also true for trees.

Thank you 8Shei8, girishpuri and Anexis–and yes, ivy can smother a tree–

Nice

Thank you Vinaya!

Deserving of another ‘like’ methinks!

Thank you again Sheila!

Refreshingly touching

Thank you Jsqc Writer!!

I read it and then I read it again and looked through the comments and then I saw the message. great posting.

Thank you for the read and comments avissado! Greatly appreciated!

Thank you Martin!

A well-crafted haiku, indeed. Your work here is probably better than any haiku that I’ve written, for I haven’t written many. I tend to focus on ballad-type poems and I like tinkering with stanza forms from the older poets.

People tend to forget that poetry should be meaningful, so I am very grateful to you that I came across this. This is the perfect example (aside from the missing punctuation) of how haiku should be representative of the grand or tiny connections between nature and our human nature.

Thanks to you for sharing and keep up the awesome work.

Thank you Adam. Much appreciated.

Great meaning in this Haiku…good job:)

Well done Audrey;you are a great writer and here’s to so many more for us both to share on here.
