Written for SenHai Saturday where our host
Susi asks us to write a senryu and haiku
using this image as our inspiration.
Haiku
young tree by the path
grass bends away in the wind ….
it stands its own way
⌘ ⌘ ⌘
Senryu
the stone walkway curves
so no one cuts through the grass ….
but they still will try

Oh my gosh–all these years later and I am still loathe to walk across any grass. “Use the sidewalk–that’s what it’s there for!”

We can’t blame the nuns this time, Lois, but a rule is a rule is a rule. Ya know?
