deceiving beauty (tanka)

,

Inspired by our host’s haiku:

her beauty
takes the life of the Lake
Water Hyacinth
© Chèvrefeuille

misleading beauty
industries and farms purge,
Yamaska River
running through villages
like Saint-Hyacinthe

© Tournesol’15

Carpe Diem

*Monitoring rivers running into the Saint Lawrence

    A very literary and philosophical haiku. I like that.

      ah yes…a cause, not poetic but a topic that must be addressed.

    Never could get the water hyacinth to grow in the watergarden. Guess it was too clean… Love the haiku and the statement.
