Queen Earth's brown banquet - A Haiku.

Courtesy



Queen earth's foliage
Verdant once upon a time
Reigned the green carpet

Fresh, Exuberant 
Subjects bowed with lush respect
Happy Buds to flowers

Ample tiara
Still, rests stamped upon bald head
Brown banquet awaits







This Haiku is written for OSI and The Heights of Haiku - April 2012. The prompts are 'VERDANT' and 'STILL' respectively.
