Notes About The Poem

Capitulating

Towering weeds out of control
The unkempt garden has completely taken over
Neighbour must finally admit defeat 



Wordku: 5-7-5 words

I see you got an HM on this one. Belated congrats. I kind of remember this contest based on words, not syllables, right?

Yes, Wordku is 3 lines of 5-7-5 words. And the lines don't run into each other so the trick is not to make it sound too choppy.
