Willow



a bad hair day
for a sad weeping willow
stretching sagging limbs

stunted by root rot
her green is brighter death rattle
before the fall

  1. Ah ... poor thing .. and it looks so very health! Wonderful haiku though.

  2. This makes me think of Dylan Thomas - "do not go gentle" -- it's as if the willow is raging against the dying of the light. Yes -- this is a great write. :)

  3. Oh the sound of the death rattle. All to familiar some days.
