Haiku? Senryu? Pixiku?
Lol, not sure which to call it. Might even be none of the above, but it gave me warm fuzzies 
So you tell me

Thanks for the comments mistic. I of course, enjoy the originality that this type of a contest allows. I also absolutely love the idea of the Pixiku. Best thing since sliced bread It allows a writer absolute freedom from poetic tedium, while still sparking an interest in older more structured forms of poetry. It is also a great readable form to put those little thoughts into that come dancing through our brains
Again, thanks for stopping by and for the kind comments

Lol, John, thank you so much. As you probably notice, I don't worry much about form or poetic rules, etc unless I just decide I want to. One of the reasons that I love the concept of the Pixiku.
I understand the syllable counts for both Haiku and Senryu, but I don't always quite grasp the subtle differences between the two. I realize that Haiku is nature, but it is difficult for me to look at nature simply for nature's sake. So many lessons it teaches us
Thanks again, for your wonderful comments.

Who cares what form it is?
You did a great job with this either way. There is truth here, on so many levels of symbolism. You captured them all.

This one was so sweet, full of light and positivity. A great, deep thought conveyed in a wondefully short and precise poem. I love the... simile? metaphor? Of the plants - a great idea, and one that carried your point through excellently. Well done!

You can learn a lot from a houseplant, huh. I don't quite understand the difference between the Haiku and Senryu myself, but the jungle that sits in front of my living room window quite inspired me . Pixiku I understand because it is quite the original invention of a member of AP, I believe. It basically is allowed to break all the rules which I quite enjoy in and of itself I am sure there are some more serious poetic types out there who consider it sacriledge, which, truth be known, also makes me like it. LoL. Glad you visited. Did I ever tell you how much fun I have reading the stuff in your crap hat collection? Such a fun place to visit.

I have no knowledge of poetic form but this reminds me of children growing to the light, i used to say i brought my boys up like house plants..

Good
Not sure why, however, this reminds me of the the scripture John 4:24. "God is spirit and truth to be worshipped in spirit and truth." I believe this is a metaphorical senryu but could be a Haiku and if neither...can be a Pixiku... Nonetheless, it gives me the warm fuzzies too. I LOVE the title.
