Analysis of Weed
Jennifer Ames 1975 (SD)
Sly am I to steal your nutrients away,
Tunneling ‘round and ‘round your earthen home,
I push my roots in just enough to swallow all hope,
My children will spread the word,
Creeping Charlie is coming.

About this poem
I despise Creeping Charlie because it’s so hard to remove. On the same note, negative behaviors sometimes do the same thing. Please enjoy the poem.
