Bamboo

In want of a life
it plants its roots in the earth
to suck up the rain.

There seems to be more than meets the eye here, James.

Wonderful haiku James, and boy when they get rooted, they sure make their presence known!

Best wishes,

This is lovely and contains also an important ecological message.

Since I discovered the natural fabric "bamboo jersey" I think there is no other fabric that can compete with its softness and beauty. Even if intensely exploited bamboo grows quickly and that makes it a very important source for many uses, when the law of sustainable environmental management is followed.

In places where it grows wildly I guess Pandas would enjoy to keep it in check by eating it and enjoying the abundance.

Life... yep, apparently, by your poem and the comments given, bamboo knows how to really go for it! Enjoyed!
