If there is a deeper meaning to this, then it is very deep; so deep that I can't find it :-)
Unless...the struggle between the gardener and the nature lover is always there.
They eat my plants, steal the blossoms off my trees, make holes in pretty leaves....
do I hate them for it? Do I destroy them because of it? Or do I let them be and admire their gall.
A bit of each of course. That's only human.

nice haiku, but I love your comments following the poem....opie houston
Your comments really make the haiku more special - we should do that as often as possible!
Thanks for explaining about the captcha..
Very well done :)
Beautiful haibun, GF :)
A wonderful story Girl Friday ... all those little creatures ruining your garden ... that's pure nature and a great source of inspiration for writing haiku.
Ah yes .. they may be pretty but yes, it's only human to try and defend our plants ... a great haiku and interesting thought provoking comment.
