Haiku 829

by Kelly

the grass is greening,

my friend is pregnant, and I’m

full of self pity

These are very difficult feelings. I remember….

I’m sorry to read the feelings in the haiku but it’s really well-written. I immediately thought of the phrase ‘the grass is always greener’ but I wasn’t sure if your first line was a coincidence or if you meant to conjure that phrase’s meaning too.

Thanks, ladies. I wasn’t thinking about the saying “the grass is always greener” when I wrote this haiku. I was using the phrase “the grass is greening” as my seasonal reference. It was supposed to signify spring. But, Ariel, I like your take on it too. It makes sense…
