Disturbing Garden Dark Haiku
While driving home from work last evening, I admired house after house with perfectly landscaped yards and gardens bursting to life with color. However, when I arrived home, I was painfully aware of just how bad a shape my own are in.
I wrote this Haiku to honor (in the darkest sense) my sticks-and-pine-cone-laden yard and creepy looking cottage gardens that have taken on a disturbing look of their own.
Surely, there must be someone else out there with a garden that even bugs and wildlife avoid! If you do, don't be shy; please share your story in the comment section and God speed!
Spine-Chilling Garden Haiku
My green thumb is sick
Garden frightens all children
Scary weeds grow there

Post a CommentI had to do some work in mine today!
At least you can tell the difference between a flower and a weed. I don't even have a green thumb!
LOL! I took a break this year and I'm glad I did. It's turned off HOT way too early. I don't like to try to grow things in this kind of heat.
If I had a garden, mine would be like yours. I have all thumbs, and none of them are green.
Good one, love the foto too.
I love this! Unfortunately, even if I had a garden to tend to, it would not be in the best shape as I don't have a green thumb.
The weeds are winning but they have the advantage of numbers...
My weeds are so tall, when the cats are in the yard - I can't see them.
Cute! I live in FL and many gardens are not the most beautiful, due to the time that must be spent in weather as hot as Hades. You are not alone.
Nice pet Moose. What'd ya name her?
