Doris Culverhouse Poet Dramatic Monologue

It Keeps On Spreading

Weeds sticky and some pretty take over my flowers

Sprayed on weed killer just made them take a nap...

What is this slimy, slick, dark emerald green muck that is on the ground??

Will have to get the big guns a hoe and a flame!!

Deer resistant is just a false promise to give the gardener hope....

My deer resistant hyacinth was decrowned by deer last night!!

Carolyn Devonshire March 7, 2012 at 10:47 AM LOL The ending is sooo funny, Doris. I like the way you express your angst over the weeks and I thought hyacinths were poisonous. Maybe you'll have deer meat tonight. Very clever! Love, carolyn
