Oh weeds

To celebrate reaching 5000 page views, I thought I'd let you all in for a 'treat' and post a poem that I've written! Please don't take it seriously, it's meant as a light hearted interlude to all of the other content that I post on here!

Oh weeds oh weeds

What can we do?

We beat, we bully

We hoe you through

We abhor your success

Your greed for land

Your rush to breed

Your ingenuity with which you disperse your seed

Oh weeds oh weeds

We’re just like you

We ignore the reflection in the looking glass

And claim it’s all askew

Oh weeds oh weeds

We’re not like you

We’re just bullies

But you’re beautiful

On closer inspection you bring life

Swaths of yellow and white, what a wonderful sight

On verges, in fields; you brighten our days

You’ve earned your place, you deserve to stay

In our gardens we want you to die

Not understanding that we’re the ‘dominant’ species

We take our hoes and spades, but try as we might

You ignore our obnoxious nature and continue to thrive

So weeds, so weeds,

What shall we do?

I’ll sit back, relax

and enjoy all that you do!

hehe, I hope you enjoyed that! It would be wonderful to read any comments - especially any links to your nature poetry or poetry that inspires you.

Take care,

Tim
