Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Hardy Warriors

Weeds flourish on parched ground
     Choke off the mantle of verdant lawns

Shoot up through cracks in hard cement
     Strangle delicate flowers' ascent

Weeds are hardy warriors
     Who every battle are destined to win
          ~ To Mother Nature's everlasting chagrin

Chris Green October 17, 2018 at 4:20 PM You can say that again. I wonder if flowers were suddenly considered weeds if they grow much better and faster. :) This was nice my friend.
