Garden! Oh Garden!
Please won't you grow?
I've tried everything
I possibly know
I weed and I water
I feed you just so,
But garden Oh garden
You refuse to grow!
You wilt and you wither,
Or just refuse to sprout
Garden Oh Garden
You fill me with doubt.
They said it was easy
You'd be lush and green
Garden Oh Garden
You're being so mean.
While others are bragging
Of their bounty and such
Garden Oh Garden
I just don't say much
Garden Oh Garden
That I started from seeds
Why is that...
You'll only grow weeds!

Love the poem! I can definitely relate. I would like to ask you how you're getting your poetry in the correct format. When I posted my poem it posted each line evenly spaced instead of four line stanzas like it was supposed to be.
Wonderful little poem! Can totally relate to it too. Although, 50% of the reason of failure on my part is forgetfulness (as in watering, etc.)
Very funny. Poem kind of grows on you.
Hope they listen and start giving you a bumper crop!
Way too cute! ;o)
Fun!
Lol on the photo Sheri! I was looking for one of weeds, I guess the one above decided to hitch a ride!
