Learning a New Language
_____________________________________
While you’re planting a plant
Have you stopped to ponder
That this plant can’t wander?
What we can do it can’t
Thought its roots run rampant
It will not live yonder.
*
Why did you plant me here
Among these thugs and brutes
Where soil’s bad for my roots
Branches eaten by deer
Blooms hidden by those near
Oh why can’t I uproot?
*
What do plants have to say
About our garden display?
