The Convolvulus Read, then read more, then again, then come, share for to bind in weed, to choke other life is convoluted in itself, no matter how beautiful the trumpet but look, Darwin saw… For the weed in bind cares not for root space and food of the dirt, nay… it longs for a full share and more of air, and light, more essential to its growth and life than that upon which it rests its stems and turns counter-clockwise to find its path. |

Wonderful imagery here, good metaphor. We humans tend to repeatedly choke off our own life-giving sources of air, water, and food. Not to mention our violent habits. Your poem offers much food for thought. As for survival of the fittest? We may not be the fittest species in the long run. |
