All Colleges Need These

Ivy vines made a slow lazy crawl
up the side of the red bricked walls
competing with resilient cobwebs
their pretty ascent protected by spiders

Ivy’s shiny verdant points impressively sharp
making a soundless but dynamic impact
the contrast reminding spectators of holidays
all colleges need a building like this one
