Weeds

You sprout quickly

ready for your debut

setting an example

for all to see.

Your two arms intertwine and meet

at one point, one body.

I see your beauty,

you rose amongst thorns.

The other grandiose angiosperms

envy your resourcefulness,

your readiness, your confidence.

You stand out like a red moon,

your beauty misconstrued.

Nevertheless, I love you.
