Heart of Kudzu

or The Implacable Force Sans Any Intention Period In Dixie, all us kin with kinfolk breed, Like that ol' weed--a funny kind o' stuff-- That got a thing like us for its own seed, And like us keeps a-seedin' plenty 'nough! While like my cousin Sissy it be tough, What with it havin' likewise one ***** name! And like my first true love, my brother Buff, It climbs on any hind or hunted game! While like my Granny Moo, my second flame, It ain't but dumber than a cow's patoot! And like my pee-pee here it got no aim, Or for a rubber gives a dadgum hoot! Why, it cain't even THINK at all right clear, Like Pa on gettin' stuck up Granny's rear! A "Hyperion" Sonnet February 16, 2022 A Strand (1075)" Poetry Contest Brian Strand
