The dreaded burdock, so many a foot you've assaulted. Cool write.

That burdock is still there in a corner in the yard where I work. It almost got me this week!
It's still waiting!

Mothers just LOVE 'em!(Kids can't resist 'em!)

Interest write. This is very nice and simple and a word I've never heard of. Just brilliant when I looked it up. Excellent write with so few words.
Thank you for commenting on my poem.
Blessings,

very simple and sweet poem. haiku seems to be simple but writing haiku needs very high intellect. job done nicely

Haikus are so versatile they can be about anything really and still sound good. I should write some more.

I like this. Great imagery. I confess, I had to look up burdock - a genus of coarse composite herbs bearing globular flower heads with prickly bracts. Very nice. Thank you for your entry.

-
"prickly bracts"...it is their strange seeds that cling to everything they come in contact with that give them their noterity, if you don't know these ungainly weeds where you're living- They create an unhappy trinty of "dogs, kids and frustrated moms" when some member of the family takes a "short cut" through the bushes!
