The Fence Post Crown
9:15 PM 1 Oct. 2014
The fence post's crown
Young hard and strong
The fence post was planted in a fence a mile long
Holding the line
Keeping safe its wards through time
Turning grey and cracking with age
It's lines loosening on the outdoor cage
The vines grew to help the post stand
Wrapping tightly around it with every strand
Decay took it's toll on the old post
And just before it gave up the ghost
The vine reached high flayed out in a circle above the post's head
A crown to reward the faithful post now dead
