“Wild, they called me
(also shameless)
for barging in uninvited
taking root everywhere
growing robustly
and misshapenly
an unworthy model to the manicured
…and then I saw
someone had noticed
the beauty of the untamed (yes, me!)
I was no longer just grass
but a photographer’s delight,
the irresistible Crowfoot grass!”

Caterpillars joined at the tail
In four directions set sail
Mistaken for grass
That’s too crass!
And ‘crowfoot’ too makes it wail!

I love the ‘caterpillars joined at the tail’ setting off in four directions part!

I love a beautiful weed,and because they become desired, they are no longer a weed.
