PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

(A network radio show reported that a gardening

group gets together to pull up English Ivy and

other 'invasive' plants)



Snuffed are the all-bequeathing Himalayan blackberries

and uprooted the brightberried Japanese bayberries

.. Begone! they say to those sweet little blue groundstars

called periwinkle

which look up at you and smile and twinkle..

..the sight of wisteria

with its purple mysteria

.. creates in them hysteria

.. and the unconditionally loving groundcovers

which apparel the clearcut, bulldozed, and paved

places of earth..

are penalized for their strength and cheer..



How the herbicidal maniacs hate English Ivy

as she frames red brick and gray granite

in jade beauty.



as they continue their ethnic cleansing

of the plant world.
