Best Prune Poems

Cut down what you do not like of me
Growing wrong-all wrong-it's all you see
Strip away my beauty

Once was I so tall...so large and proud
But you cut me down to the crowd
Strip away my  beauty

Why must I be changed so
Why couldn't you just let me...

Tend Thy Orchard, Its Bad Limbs Prune

Live life well now, without delay;
Enjoy the beach and its cool nights
Walk under moon's soft beaming lights.

The wickedness of these times."

I feel the futility 
after decades
of my fingers flitting
like dragonflies
over the keys 
my once hopeful heart 
shriveled and shrunken

Walking into my garden,
I notice things need doing,
Fence needs painting,
Weeding and pruning,
And the grass needs cutting.

Do not !!!! Get me started on the decking,
I will cut the hedge instead,
Greenhouse needs washing,
Plants need potting,

Hose pipes got a leak,
So has the...
