She didn’t wax her furry legs
And didn’t shave her armpit hair.
Bikini line so overgrown;
She had a forest growing there.
neighbor's lawn overgrown
with thick grass and wild flowers
wife had a baby

Schizophrenia
Festering innards
Valley overgrown with shards
Fragments oozing soul

Contest The fault Line
Time has passed to quick
Weeds do grow where flowers were
Nourished by nature
Abandoned houses falling in ruins
Behind rusty overgrown fences
I'm not quite up to snuff,
should the wind give me a puff
I'd simply fall over
like a worn-out clover
that's lost its own shadow
in an overgrown meadow
Upright
Overgrown tree
Full with shadows
Still longing for the sun
Looking for the glowing orb
Needing warmth

grandparent's farmland
passed down through generations
apple peach trees grow
overgrown pathways
barb wire fence contains thorned bush
wild berries florish
Hedge
Nature won't be tamed
His hedge grows tall, needs cutting
My view is softened

Darkness falls in the habitat
an secret acre overgrown
lush from furious rain the darkness
gathers
and sparks fly up from the underbrush
floating
to the treetops
their garden of dreams
neglected and overgrown ~
now teeming with weeds

Towering weeds out of control
The unkempt garden has completely taken over
Neighbour must finally admit defeat

why the media plays up some...
overgrown spoiled rich kid
as suitable for president
when an experienced
mature elder is the
better man...
t'is beyond me....
stan sand
my lilac tree did not know she was a bush
within ten years she flourished with a swoosh
she outgrew every tree except the oak giant
lilac tree is a hundred foot tall, shade very reliant.
neglected fruit trees
moss covers old water trough
ivy climbs through fence
*My grandfather was always outside cleaning the brush away and now that he's passed it's just left undone.*
Overgrown by grapes
Gods’ garden fine winery
Mortals in rags toil
Overgrown by grapes
Gods’ garden fine winery
Brimful gilded grails
Overgrown by grapes
Gods’ garden fine winery
High angels crash down
granite headstone, proof of existence
fresh flowers and stones marked visits
overgrown weeds, unread engraving
no flowers, no stones
abandoned memory
sun warms cold headstone

An expressive place
A dark forest late at night
Just a torch to see
The path badly overgrown
Looks hopeless yet is calming

An overgrown garden,
all stone arches & shadow
A place where disrepair becomes aesthetic
Through tangled vines,
a lone flower reaches for sunlight,
she is learning;
There's more than one way to blossom
The temple is named after the Flower Mountain,
Yet no flowers are seen and weeds are overgrown.
Planting and weeding must be on the routine list ,
For fair flowers are brief while weeds grow fast.
(tran.)
Today, she sits alone,
with her thoughts unknown...and sighs.
Before her lies a stone.
The weeds are overgrown. She cries.
A lark lights where sun once shone -
a mem'ry the wind has blown. It flies.
Well maybe I'll find love
in the shadowy doorway
of a tenement building
'neath a bullet grey sky.
Silver shrapnel will rain
down
soak our leathery feet
watered and overgrown.
Love in a shadowy doorway.
In the old graveled alley, overgrown with weeds,
at footfall, locusts sprang and leaped,
triggering a riot.
But soon their swelling motion
subsided like fried popcorn on a skillet.
Orange blossoms forth.
Animated heat and light.
A candle's flicker.
Morning skies awake.
Misty air has gone away.
Blue's expanse open.
Surprise raspberries.
Summer sun overgrown wild.
Green turned sweet Red.
Form:
I found a fossil hiding
near something overgrown,
a historical handprint etched
in a slab of ancient stone.
I trace the imprint idly
and marvel at its design-
the grooves coil and curve around,
and then become entwined.
a roar a purr
i am the gatekeeper
of my heart
of what goes in
and what comes out
a big overgrown lion
i roar mostly i purr
