When we let it grow
a weed might just surprise us
with uncut beauty.

I’m a stranger to this land.
Pray, what are these graceful creatures
with plush yellow blossoms
waving lightly
in the early afternoon?
Such a lovely garden you have.
But why are you cutting them down?
.
“They’re dandelions!”
you say with disgust.
.
Puzzling,
I bid you farewell
and walk away
tripping on a tin can
in the street.

Without enough rain
even so-called weeds succumb –
no prejudice there.

‘Tis fall, indeed!
I love when flowers
go to seed
and chickadees
come to feed
and there’s no need
to deadhead,
nor to weed.

A re-post – just an artless little ditty from Gramma Krackers. (My alter ego).
