Constance La France Poet Acrostic

Notes About The Poem

Crown Vetches

Can you recall seeing me?
On a country drive perhaps?
Winding my tendrils, so tenderly.

Very tall, like six feet high, I grow wild!
Every field and grassland is my home from May to August.
Tendrils and spikes are my leaves.
Cows love my crawling, sprawling beauty!
Have lovely dense purple trumpet flowers.
Even along roadways my seeds will thrive.
Stop to admire me, but pick me and I will die!

James Inman March 1, 2017 at 7:14 AM I don't recall seeing this particular flower but the Morning Glories commonly grow wild along the roadsides in the Carolinas. Some are pink but some are a deep purple that looks almost velvety. Enjoyed the poem.
