Sigrid Ermine Poet Free verse

Weeds Will Win

Between fence metal hexagons
Vibrant weed vertical weaves
Leaves poke gaps obstinately
Battle with wire web pattern


Because it can get through, 
will get through, determined
To prosper within challenge 
To reach potential during tough 


Bitten by bug of bad luck
Crammed in pebbly pockmark
Threatened by shade smother
Bedraggled weed creeps up


Bemoaning status wastes energy
Positivity welcomes growth
Rehearsal bears bigger talents
Lustrous jungle is triumphant
