Parsley
For Caroline Jane's VSS Haiku Challenge
I am not sure I got the idea completely right, but I will try...
You here, so quiet...
Finer foods surpass your touch.
Bitter and needed.

WARNING. I will be tapping into one of your favorite creative tensions: The absurdity of humans worshipping their glowing rectangles as if they were tiny oracles. There’s something deliciously poetic about that contradiction, and it lends itself beautifully to an instructive proviso.

Lol! I love this. Parsley is one of my favorites! I make tabouleh all the time! YUM! Well done!!
Fantastic! ❤️
Just like the humble parsley, the beautiful simplicity of this poem packs a mighty punch. True haiku essence ❤️
Great job!
Nice work!
Good one, Kendall! I’m a big Parsley fan!
Nice one.
Oooo, I actually love parsley! Great choice!
Super!!! Loved this!!!❤️❤️💕
Oh! Enigmatic parsley hey! I like it... I like it a lot!!! Thanks for playing along. 🥰
I have a certain fondness for parsley. Possibly quite the superfood, if we ate more of it, eh?
I like parsley flavor-can't stand cilantro
An essential ingredient in "green" borsch.
It makes a lovely garnish
would we call this bitter-sweet?
I only like parsley for the way it decorates and elevates my dishes. I don’t like its taste though. Great haiku.
