Rooted Determination

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

    1. Thank you De! Yep, this was what I was doing this morning--couldn't stand the view from my kitchen window anymore...

  4. Hi Sara: I absolutely love it. That was my chore growing up as soon as I turned 13. Keep the patio clear of the weeds.

    I 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.
