Mystery Seeds

Mystery Seeds Uninvited to my garden party - Skepticism abounds At faces hidden by woody capes Maybe innocence masked in suspicion Absent an invitation – party crashers Of unknown origin And unknown certification; 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 side winding glances Born of dubious - Unwelcomed arrivals With no return address Arouse qualms growing like rosebush suckers No RSVP for surprise attendees Asking admittance When curiosity stands up waving Told “Sit down!” While walking to the trash. I missed the Mystery Seeds contest by a couple of minutes! Just wanted to share the results from this fun contest theme.

It's kinda cool, Sam! I like the 'invitation' theme you carried through easily. I think you're pointing out that the prevalence of verdant growth will persevere. We can't get rid of what wants to be there. There's drama as well as cute humour (meteor supposition) in your well chosen words. Really glad you posted this! I think too, it's far better to write 'as ourselves', instead of the way we perceive the judge likes! Hugs
