Pampas Grass- susuki #haiku #california #photography

pennant in sea breeze

free to wave away the tide

unaffected by change

a hat or a blade

we built a fort in your glade

through cut, we unafraid

Pampas grass grows wild along the California coastline. Plume -like beauty from a distance masks the blade-like sharpness of its leaves.

Pampas Grass is today’s Carpe Diem’s prompt

what a joy to have pampasgrass growing in the wild in your region. Here in my part of the world we only have this beautiful grass in our gardens and not growing in the wild.

Always love the look of these…but their beauty hold some pain…like some relationships.

  yes there is – maybe that’s why they have the knife sharp blades to protect from more pain

Pampas grass bends with the wind
I have to learn
to write a haiku.

I really like the idea of the pampas grass waving away the tide.

The first one is a gem for me. The beach with tide and pampas grass always there…like a silent observer. Or a witness.
