Mystery Seeds

Mystery Seeds Uninvited to my garden party - Skepticism abounds at faces hidden by woody capes Masked in suspicion Without an invitation – party crashers Of unknown origin – not certified Weed or wildflower – herb or herbaceous horror – Maybe alien blooms born on a meteor No toasts of welcome in dewy nectar by garden residents - Only sideways glances born of dubious - Unwelcomed guests – qualms growing like rose suckers No RSVP for surprise attendees asking admittance When curiosity stands up waving Told “Sit down!” While walking to the trash.

Hello Sam ... had the same experience. The weed seeds were amongst flower seeds I bought in a packet and no prize for guessing which grew best - enjoyed your verse Sam - Lindsay
