Goodbye To This Ivy

COMMON was it growing up from grounded poverty
Ominous was the task; that it approached with glee
Monumental; the first rung on an iron ladder would be
Making its way; climbing  would not always be; sunny
Over time, this world; this way; driven to near insanity
Now, though, looking back; It has earned a legacy 

It spread from post to post; life was not a gimme
Vigorously working at that point; if it died right there, no one would miss me
Years it would take; growing up life's trellis before saying goodbye to this IVY

I have no plans to vacate this world anytime soon LOL. I have been musing on life cycles and emotions lately. So you are very much correct in your interpretation of what I was trying to portray. Respectfully A.S.
