on the lawn
watered by my tears
new weeds grow
The reason it works for me is that it's well known that
people spend a lot of time, $$, and effort to rid their
lawns of weeds. Weeds are symbolic of defeat
A relationship (no matter what kind) that has been lovingly
nurtured is much like a well-tended lawn.
That fast turn, the surprise realization/connection/scene/
image of tears growing weeds, is what makes this a
wonderful haiku.
