Interpretations

i.
Nature finds a way
through swathes of concrete jungle
Breathtaking vista

Ian Row

ii.
Through a grim terrain
a lush river valley winds
past a massive leaf

Chris Gill

iii.
new life thrusts
through old scars,  flow restores
Ganesh smiles

Dawn Mok

iv.
vein of mossy green
bitumen bifurcation
leaves a leaf a lone

Good days, bad days, always
Tomorrow will be better
Stop quoting Abba

Woebegone children

Quartz Markets Haiku

Stocks won't go too far
Until that dang Brexit vote
After that, look out.

Seafood Mee Goreng
Too hungry to think. Starving!
Incomplete haiku.

The accent's on the colour
The clouds sing their song

Kittens

Animated fluff.
Tumble, cuddle, scratch and bite.
Oh, my allergies

Ellen C McBarnette
The cresent moon
through the keyhole in the clouds

Upi, the lovely
"Little Baguio",  people say

Not a central character
Blink and you'll miss him
