Spring Pushups

Weeds
                                pesky, noxious
                           reach, creep, agitate
              dandelions, plantain, tulips, daffodils
                        assemble, restore, thrive
                              sterling, arresting
                                         Buds

Sara Kendrick Date: 6/6/2021 4:45:00 AM Creative winning work. There are lots of weeds out there for the gardener to fight. Sad that we have a world that grows them without any effort and it takes a miracle to grow flowers. Thanks for all the visits to my page. Congrats on your winner.

Thank you for your stop by + input. Cheers, Brian
