Pat, I loved your haiku. I love those wavy grasses. They are like waves in the sea when the wind blows. Beautiful imagery. ❤

Thank you Colleen. They are like waves. We have a nature preserve nearby. It has a sea of them😊.

There are some lovely grasses that grow here in AZ, too. I might have to get some! Thanks for the great idea. ❤

I feel like I have to keep a close eye on mine or it’ll just block everything else out. But I do appreciate it’s wild side😊

Good point. I’ll have to remember that. We have to use drip irrigation on all our plants here. That could get interesting. 😀

Those feathered plants are phragmites, an invasive species in the US that wipes out native species. Nice poetry though.

Thank for the info. They’re all over a nature preserve around here. You’d think the parks department would be attacking them!

Some of my neighbors have tall ornamental grasses…
Though when regular grass is let to grow it too can have beauty. 🙂
