She inherited

her grandfather's

estate..

and decided to

let the crewcut acres-

of lawn grow wild..

some for her had

contempt

.. and thought the lawn

unkempt

while others

saw the new grass spires

as sceptres proclaiming

freedom's soul fires..

then thicket and

gradually oertook

the croquet field

wickets

.. none were happier

than the toads

and the crickets



while the bumblebees

were relieved

that no more mowing

would harm beewings

had cast

occupied Indians into caste..

yet under grey skies...skies overcast

their oppressive yoke

was over cast
