I like my garden in spring
when every growing thing
is small and in its' place
respecting each other's space.
In summer all my plants
are growing like elephants,
invading everywhere
and stretching here and there.
I nip and tug and tuck
but have no greater luck
in keeping them in place
in their proper space.
In autumn I despair!
I scream and tear my hair.
The plants are everywhere,
the mess I cannot bear.
In winter I decide
to tame the big and wide.
I purchase sticks and thread
and tuck'em under my bed.
But then it's spring again...

 Thank you all, I had a feeling I might not be alone in my wonderings. Love your gardening smile, Zuzu!
