Notes About The Poem
Hopefully this makes you grin a bit lol

Menacing Garden



My garden plots my demise 
Haunts me like a living soul
The care I give is appreciated, yet expected
Each time I weed takes a toll

When it's time to prune
All hell breaks loose
The clods grow stones to throw and wound
The ears of corn hear all that I say
They stalk me, following every which way
The sly potatoes sprout eyes to spy
And the others sharpen their spears to slay. 

As I sweat with tools through the rows and rows
I hear the whispered names they call
I know the slang they use , ( crying, "hoe!")
 Meaning a loose woman and I'm appalled !

Now this could be a metaphor for several things lol... Gardening can be difficult sometimes when the weeds are overgrown and the lawn has not been mowed in while....
