Plant Those Thorny Bushes

I planted these thorny bushes way back in March. They were hard to plant, let’s make that clear. Their gorgeousness is sheer delight Their pinkness is heaven sent. Such fragrant petals Silent Roses Among the nettles Exquisite and prettily bent. They do survive each winter’s blight Perennials, they come back each year Beautifully displaying themselves on garden arch.

My neighbors have thorny locust trees; they breed like rabbits in my yard and I'm forever trying to cut or mow them down, weekly. Every now and then, they grow faster than I can whack at them; getting rid of the debris, I noticed they even stab through thick leather garden gloves. They are hard to plant but, some are worth it like roses and my Holly Tree; which aren't nearly as painful as those Locust trees. Well done.

I know what you are talking about, I have renegade mulberry trees that are stabbing through every bush in my yard, trying to take over, and they have. The bushes with the thorns are SO hard to get rid of, and hard to plant. I have done both.

Beautiful imagery, enjoyed the line "They were hard to plant, let’s make that clear"... ;D

Thank you Line. I thought I would sneak in a few more summery poems before the fierce cold hits.
