Creeper of a kind
Climbing tenaciously of
parasitic sway
Morning dew sprinkles
on purple charms
faithfully
with brilliant sparkles
Not cultivated
But a survivor no less
Holding out its own
Written for Chev's haiku at CARPE DIEM #42 with prompt - morning glory

i think they are pretty...they used to be by the place we waited for the bus every morning so i grew a nice appreciation of their beauty...
ReplyDeletei like all plants that climb.. has something adventurous in their beauty..love that survival spirit as well..
ReplyDeleteI enjoy how you sneak in that parasitic sway for a bit of contrast and yet to me there's something so beautiful about the symbiosis of a vine intertwining with another plant.
ReplyDeleteThey know how to survive, and keep alive
ReplyDeleteAnd best of all for the busy gardener, they take care of themselves!Glory
ReplyDeleteIn the photo, it looks like a light is glowing inside of it. Beautiful. And as you describe in your haiku, a very adaptable, resilient vine.
ReplyDeleteSo, beautiful. The flower keeps itself going despite struggle:)We all need to learn a lot from nature...

I'm always intrigued by morning glories in tropical and sub-tropical climes: They never die, but just keep on growing!

Wonderful way of beauty.. lovely haiku and a picture to match.
ReplyDeleteI am reminded of what a great gardener told me: All flowers are weeds, some are just cultivated.....
