Green Piece (Free verse) by flightoffancy
Iâd like to have daffodils and wildflowers in my yard,
But I live in Suburbia where Bluegrass is King.
I can picture it;
I could do it.
Strike a blow for nonconformity.
Scatter bulbs wildly.
Create a joyful bright oasis in a desert of green.
But for now it's just too much work.
So I plant wildflowers in neat flowerbeds.
Mow my lawn on Saturday,
Water it on Sunday,
An environmentalist without conviction.
Then I gaze out my window
Longing for daffodils and wildflowers.
