My garden's gone wild

With hot heat and rain

And bitter rude words

Are tickling my brain

I will not give up

On my garden beds

But it's time to change

Use techniques I've read

I'll let some plants grow

I used to pull out

And when they're cut back

They'll feed soil throughout

Some provide cover

For my garden soil

Fast growing purslane

Will reduce my toil

Quick growing clover

I'll learn to live with

For clover feeds soil

Erosion locksmith

When dandelions blooms

Attracts local bees

Pollination work

Is offered for free

I'll reduce weeding

I feel I must do

Hope that these changes

Feeds garden 'green stew'
