in florida, weeds
exceed all expectations
pulling them becomes
counter productive
for every one i extract
two more seem to emerge
a green hydra battling
for survival when all
i want is a bouquet.
oh hercules where are
you these days?

Like a Garden
a blog is a garden.
while well-tended, blossoms appear:
fragrant jasmine, thorned roses,
upright jacks-in-the-pulpit.
when neglected, weeds sprout:
persistent dandelions, stubborn
pigweed, and annoying quackgrass.
mine requires a little TLC,
sunshine, moisture, and copious
amounts of fertilizer. manure.
fortunately i seem to possess
more than enough of the latter
commodity. i’m full of it.
