Poisonous But Beautiful

Don't touch, or go near For a horrible itchy rash will appear. Yet, I can only stare At this breath taking scene. Poison Ivy beautifully green Has shot out purple suction cups So it can crawl up Nice and tall To cover my gray brick wall. Of course this poison Ivy plant Gives us a wonderful color change In a fantastic color range. It shows us a magnificent orange And a brilliant red Before it goes to sleep in winter Waking up again in the spring. This gives us another slant On how to enjoy nature's Pleasures Before everything Looks dreary and dead.
