croaking frog
there’s no pleading with
the lily harvester

Notes

I quite like this haiku, although it did see a rejection when I submitted it to a journal. Despite multiple re-reads, I don’t feel the need to change anything in it – the haiku does for me what I want it to do. I also don’t read too much into the often held soft rule/warning sign of having more than one -ing verb in a haiku.
