rejected seed (haiku)

by Glenn Currier

 

below the feeder
gathers grass grown in winter
from rejected seed

Author's Note: it's probably not haikuish but sometimes alliteration happens

Its fine, I like the haiku and alliteration (im no expert tho) but its a nice crisp image. Birds have a habit of eating only their favorites and discarding the rest. LOL

'Rejected seed' sounds like an 'outsider'estranged from the common belief system for not believing in the common belief system. And well, one who isn't common is abnormal. Well, I do identify with this rejected seed.

I like the poem although that green on brown made it difficult to read. I too first thought this poem might be about an ostracized individual...but instead it's about the seeds that are refused by the birds and how nature found a way to put them to use. Very creative indeed and very imaginative - I really like the originality of this piece :-)
