I love gardens but I sure don't like the bugs that destroy the plants and flowers. As you get older, the beauty lies in the flowers and their budding and the vegetables lies in the taste bud. Like your poem

I guess it depends on what the garden is overgrown with. If it's overgrown with wildflowers it would still be beautiful. I prefer to think of it that way. LOL Thank you for sharing this poem with us. I enjoyed reading.

Comment from AP Apgar
I like your modern Haiku - Excellent picture of the overgrown garden - simmers in laziness - cute - good word count and flows well. Crickets in the background nice touch - visualize the stillness of the garden with only the sound of the crickets. Good Job.

Comment from Karyn2
"Simmers in laziness"!! Wow I love your word choice here. It really makes me take time to ponder here. I get the sense of gently bubbling away and laziness expressing the adhoc, unkempt, nature of plants spilling over as your image portrays. Noting manicured into place but a place of beauty and nature hinted at in the cricket's chirp. The freedom of nature left alone to thrive and grow on its own terms creating a heartwarming sense of peace. I'd love to know what your process is when a phrase or group of words pop to mind. Is it often a whole Haiku or do 2 or 3 words form, that you write down and mull over? Gee I'd love to hear about your writing Gypsy.

My process for writing haiku and other Japanese is to create an image using the right word. An idea comes first and then I look for the right word. I use my dictionary and thesaurus a lot. Sometimes I Google specific sounds of birds, animals, insects, etc. The whole process takes me a couple of hours if I add working on the perfect presentation.
Karyn,
Thank you very much for your time, kind review, and helpfull feedback.

I love the "simmers in laziness " which really gives the feeling of the overheating of summer and how everything slows down. The "warms the hear" makes me pause as I'm wondering if it "warms the hearing"?
