Prompt--Write a problem poem
Oh weeds between the pavers
Why do you persist?
Why do you insist
On sowing seeds where
They cannot grow
On watching Nature TV
Shows on ero-
Sion?
You cannot prevail
There are poisons
That kill
(Not that I'd use them)
But I will
Keep yanking out
Your thinly rooted
Attempts
To overthrow
My patio
Oh weeds between the pavers
Why do you persist?
Why do you insist
On sowing seeds where
They cannot grow
On watching Nature TV
Shows on ero-
Sion?
You cannot prevail
There are poisons
That kill
(Not that I'd use them)
But I will
Keep yanking out
Your thinly rooted
Attempts
To overthrow
My patio
LOL Fun! Excellent title too! (But... thanks a lot for reminding me of another task I've been ignoring!) :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the compliment, I kinda struggled with the title--glad you liked it! Sorry about reminding you, though...:-)
ReplyDeleteLove the title! :) Just about all we get here in Southern Nevada are weeds. Boy, can I relate! Great write.
ReplyDeleteThank you De! Yep, this was what I was doing this morning--couldn't stand the view from my kitchen window anymore...
DeleteHi Sara: I absolutely love it. That was my chore growing up as soon as I turned 13. Keep the patio clear of the weeds.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to also point out that I have really enjoyed your poetry and I am glad I "discovered" you this year. Please visit my site for the special gift I placed for you.
