When I think of humility wild flowers come to mind. They aren’t delicately beautiful like roses or other decorative plants … but without their humble beauty the fields would be drab. And of course they are tenacious. The humble wild flowers, from poppies to Queen Anne’s lace, will grow where a rose would wither!
without pretension
in fields and empty woods
wild flowers flourish
delicate
scarlet as roses in the arbor
poppies in the fields
through the snow
white snow drops blossom
auguring spring
honeysuckle
covering the old crab tree
perfuming the park
along the path
humility and tenacity
bloom in the fields

Linked to Carpe Diem’s Tackle It Tuesday for humility and tenacity …
Just beautiful – love the images conjured in my mind – as well as the little slide show – LOL – but I may very well be biased in my affections! 😉
Great job Georgia 🙂

I really like how you’ve done this — combining humility and tenacity work well here together — and what gorgeous photos to go with your haiku. The first little white flower reminds me of something that grows around here — a member of the nightshade family, I think —
Brava!

Ah! Don’t ask me the names of flowers, no one ever introduced me 😉 Glad you liked the mix .. I felt they could work in tandem!

If it makes you feel better I pulled the stuff by the handful as a kid and never knew the names – till blogging when my made-up names sounded silly. Pagoda plant, stinkflower, pink dot, etc. 😉
Worked beautifully 😉

Some are less poetic though. Like “that stuff the spittle bugs like so much”.
Hated that stuff…….

aw, no poems about the “makes-me-wanna-puke plant”? 😉
Yes. Pink-dot, pagoda plant, and green-bells. Much better.
