Brian Sambourne Poet Diamante

Spring Pushups

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

Sara Kendrick June 6, 2021 at 4:45 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. Sara Brian Sambourne June 6, 2021 at 6:33 AM Hello Sara, You are so right when you note the persistent power of weeds - wish more of them had a flowering component. Thank you for your stop by + input. Cheers, Brian

Gary Radice May 27, 2021 at 2:09 AM I really enjoyed this Brian. From weeds to buds; from dying to thriving. I loved being led down this particular garden path. Cheers - Gary Brian Sambourne May 27, 2021 at 4:57 AM Thanks very much, Gary. The diamante is a diversion from some of my edgy submissions on the Soupers site. Be well. Brian
