Conflict

Invasion's over.
Troops crowd roads and waterways.
Loosestrife's hard to hate.

Linking to Sensational Haiku Wednesday prompt "battle"

It's funny how invasive plants are more acceptable if they are beautiful.

    Good visual, as I could picture exhausted troops slugging along the road, fatigued, from a tired battle.

      ...and perhaps not even noticing the loosestrife blooming at the sides of the road.

    I lived in Georgia where kudzu reigns supreme ... everybody hates it but I found a quirky beauty in it. Of course it does tend to strangle everything in its path.

    I enjoyed your haiku!
