STEEMIT HAIKU CONTEST # WEEK 20: Rust

in #haiku8 years ago (edited)

Outside my window
A neglected tractor rusts
Weeds grow through flat tires

This poem was inspired by another contest, but was not the entry. It was written after I read the topic but before I read the rules, which had no syllable requirements and caused me to re-imagine the thought:

A neglected tractor
Weeds grow
Through flat tires

In the second poem the rust is still there (you don't imagine a neglected tractor not rusting, do you?), but the original poem has more action for saying it. I like them both.

Sort:  

Congrats on winning 1st place in the Haiku contest!

Thank you, you are kind :)
