Bending With The Wind by LisaMay
Haikuish Tercet contest entry


As they bend before false gods,
testing which way the wind is blowing,

Author Notes
Author Note:
It may be more usual to refer to 'blades of grass', but I've put 'leaves of grass' there on purpose to reference the title of Walt Whitman's poetry collection, which was about his philosophy of life and humanity.
