ivy cling just as the ivy on the chair brown, dying perched up there I stared as it slowly crossed its death could not discard till its last breath within its life befell a curse a longing from a weary thirst should have watered with tears cried but silently watched it as it died so many ways it could have been saved too many things that it craved was it asking way too much just to feel a caring touch now it's dead I can't bring it back empty chair and planter cracked one day I'll plant again anew gardening this time in a different view |

Understood every line...quite a sense of relief, knowing that we can revive the ivy....even if it means a transplant.... |

Great poem! Any houseplant I own has to be able to thrive on neglect... (even though I don't care for being neglected myself. *S*) |
