Haiku (Untitled/Garden)
Thunderstorm beaten,
garden lies in submission,
bent but not broken.

Post a CommentBeautiful writing!
I never thought of it as an analogy for our nation, but it really does fit! Thanks for all your comments Becky!
I'm no haiku expert, but this sounds like our country!
Funny thing is that my own negligence did a lot more damage than that storm. A lot of farmers lost everything to a later hailstorm. It has been a tought season, we've been fortunate. And Sharon and Deonlis, I am glad that second meaning came through to you! Thanks so much for your comments!

This has been a rough season.
Sometimes I am that garden. Life might beat me down once in awhile but I'm not broken yet.
Dang, that sounds like what my cornfield went through several times this year! Nicely done!
