It will be like this

Haiku of the Kingdom

Lots of parables;
what will the kingdom be like?
It will be like this!

The mustard seed, small,
sown in a field, growing large;
a home for the birds.

Yeast, mixed with flour,
three measures, causing the bread
to rise and become.

A hidden treasure,
uncovered; sell ev’rything
and purchase the field!

A merchant, searching
for pearls, finds the perfect one;
sells ev’rything else.

The net that catches
all kinds of fish; sort them out,
discard the useless.

Do you understand?
You are like a scribe finding
new and old treasures.
