nice, i have watched the walls fall…and life sprout in the most unusual places…
Succint and eternally true
Never truer words were said!
True words. Lovely.
So true, life always finds a way to persevere.
Perfect.
Lovely senryu ~ Rose
love your words…and the pic underlines them so perfectly
I find resilience to be a wonderful quality. Thanks for the reminder.
You’ve trimmed all the fat and brewed it down the clearest essence–life will always find a way around, over or through a wall. Enjoyed.
This is what a senryu should be. Perfect!
Nice tight poem!
Great little gem. Thanks for sharing it.
“towering brick walls” that opening line got me to consider the image in a completely different way. Brilliance in 5 syllables. The curve in the one stem and at the base gives the appearance that its grown strong braving the elements—fits the words very well. Great haiku! Cool image too.
That’s beautiful!
Belinda, I adore this….it always feels like a grand miracle to me when I see what could be considered a frail plant pushing through the cement….life just wants to exist, even a tiny plant seems to have a will to live and grow. BEAUTIFUL!
Succinctly beautiful, and nigh on perfect.
AWESOME!! There’s a ton of power in this brevity!
Mind blowing! Loved the image.. life does spring out from places most unimaginable.. Perhaps this is the Nature’s message to us.. very well done- Kudos!!!
