this clematis

grows kudzu fast

what a mistake

041821c

 

so many seeds

in the garden soil

rain clouds roll in

041620b

trumpet vines
strangle purple irises
toot their own horns

100319d

breaking off
crispy weeds in flower beds
drought

082619

bindweed lures
hummingbirds to the beanpoles
gardeners flock in

060119b

don't have to tell
these weeds to reach for the sky
green revolution

032719c

thorny dewberries
snake through the garden,
their white flowers promising
sweet plump fruit,
even as they strangle
everything you planted

082918b

late summer sun
bakes even the weeds
we thank God for AC

033118c

the tenacious root
shoots toothed vines into the fray
car-briar fever
