Love, bamboo overtook the garden these past two years tall as the berry tree strong as the pear tree their young ones gained spread where fresh laundry once hung in shaded breeze such power along our chain link fence even the neighbors tall wood, they blocked the sun taunting us in winter threatening us in spring flaunting power then the gardener came and not so gently thwarted a hostile take over two days, the fight I heard angry threats saw futile attempts at revenge but in the end they weakly acquiesced out of power they have a new home now somewhere away from here I both mourn and rejoice their departure yet take comfort in knowing bamboo, when cut, grows very strong and is not easily broken such power! these days, love sun smiles upon our garden and our youngs ones are now free to embrace light... ~tier 10/04 |

Wonderful story telling, Tier~ Even the bamboo sounds pretty, but prettier without it I'm sure. |

nodding here, and I have a brand new empty yard, and I'm afraid to plant anything. Just as the plants come to maturity, I tend to move... This reminded me of a friend, who just let the bamboo take over. She chopped paths through the stand, and it was a delight of a labyrinth. (Drove her hubby crazy tho) Thanks for the smiles and the memory, tiers...  |

Very nice work Sometimes things do tend to take over a garden if you let them |

I enjoyed this one. I love the sunshine, but sometimes I want a little shade. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

Really enjoyed this as I have a four corner spot in my back yard filled with ever growing bamboo. I like the privacy there. I love it now, and as It will be someone else's problem in the future, I can afford to keep it there. LOL, martyjo |
