The Garden Structure

Along these Great Southern Shores
Where Antarctic waters pound the beaches
Or scorching Northerlies
bring clouds of desert sands

I do battle
Having entered into a ferocious duel
With the GARDEN STRUCTURE

my hands of sinew and bone
against elements sewn together
a straight, silver representation of absolute
forged by men who value strength

my plans and intentions
rough ink scratchings on a paper thin imagination
against a cold heart, rigidly holding the line
no wavering in steely resolution

my sweating organic determination
against a garden structure fighting boldly
I ally myself with electronic torque certainty
to screw metallic defiance to its very self

Along these Great Southern Shores
Where Antarctic waters pound the beaches
Or scorching Northerlies
bring clouds of desert sands

Bloodied from battle
I stand victorious after a ferocious duel
With the Garden Structure

this is SO interesting. It's kind of different from what I usually see from you. Very nicely "structured!!"

Congratulations on the construction. It looks really good and stable. You are close to the water and I can only imagine how rough the environment there is. However, you have made a valiant attempt to keep it under control. We have to take pleasure in what we can, you bring a smile to my face. The beams are really cool.

Well I think you could have been more Dram-atic Scott, I mean there was room for extreme (Whiskey Fortification) due to the exertative ramifications of such a fantabulation of Design and creation, ya know? I want you to Imagine a stress on the strine and rhyme there as you read Away Scott btw do you think I could find a niche In journalistic drama? Or 'news outlets to you Mate'

Is that a picture of you building your garden structure? What a relief it must be to finish something that was a struggle. I love to garden as well.

Yep that's me and the structure. A struggle, yes; but ultimately a bit of fun. The bottle gourd that it was constructed for is doing well. Thanks for the read, and comment.
