I am sure it's not a surprise, but my experience with reviewing poetry hasn't grown significantly since last month. I dig the seed/growth image.
What I have done is to do a little more research. I have expanded, slightly, my understanding of haiku.
The traditional haiku is not only the 5-7-5 structure, but also the juxtaposition of two images. This juxtaposition provides the subtext that makes up most of the poem's meaning.
A more traditional approach would be to begin with an image of the ancient and majestic tree and contrast it with sown seeds or a growing forest.
