I've been thinking about the Kinoshita oak, and Walter's remarkable critique.
These thoughts came to mind.
If you pay homage to the homely, you may find beauty in the bizarre, and grandeur in the grotesque.

haiku
do not scorn the weed
search for beauty in all things
even the humble

I penned this haiku many years ago for a lady that made beautiful accent plants out of ugly weeds.
