It may be an old poem, but it is timeless. Nice cadence!

Too true, "you may try to stamp them out; but in the end, they win." Thanks for sharing, Ron!

I love the insight that you share through your verses here, Ron. One of the most lovely (and useful) weeds is the dandelion and, once it comes into bloom, one knows that spring is here to stay. Love and peace,

Regis

Love it. So true. and some are important for the monarch butterfly, milkweed, i believe. don't quote me.

So true. And don't forget the medicinal uses! M.True

Flowering weeds are a rather fascinating hidden secret. Thanks for the post.

I KNOW THAT IN THE BEGINNING GOD CREATED ALL THINGS AND THEY WERE GOOD, HOWEVER, BECAUSE OF THE WORLD'S DETERIORATING CONDITION THOSE THINGS CREATED BY HIM HAVE BECOME TAINTED BUT GOD IS STILL IN CONTROL AND HE STILL USES ALL THINGS TO HIS ADVANTAGE. THUS, THOSE THINGS WE CALL WEEDS AND JUNK ARE STILL VALUABLE AND CAN BE VERY USEFUL IF WE'D ONLY TAKE THE TIME TO 'LOOK A LITTLE CLOSER' AND STOP JUDGING BY APPEARANCES. AND THIS APPLIES TO ALL FORMS OF LIFE...HIGHER AND LOWER...WE ARE ALL 'WEEDS' IN HIS GARDEN! WELL DONE, RONALD...I ENJOYED THIS IMMENSELY. THANKS FOR SHARING! LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

I love weeds, probably because I love everything wild, and there is very sadly far less wild these days.

A good poet see's beauty in all of God's creation.

good application to this universal theme and scene ...

It's all in the eyes of the beholder, isn't it? What some of us think are weeds brighten otherwise dull landscapes.

I love walking through open fields of weeds with their lovely colors swaying in the gentle breezes! The smells are fresh and pure. The dragonflies are like little fairies dancing upon them as are the other little forms of life you mentioned. I enjoyed this!!!!

Love ya!

You improve on yourself with each poem. Keep it up Ron.

So beautiful the thought of appreciating nature in its most natural form.Wilderness in any form is stronger and better , they come up against all odds. Hence silently giving out more, well done Ron and so moving! JK

Yessir, one man's weed is, well, ahem, another man's weed. Here in Paradise we have kochia (tumbleweed) that will carry you off with the screaming zephyrs...

Excellent write. Down here our wildflowers are mostly weeds, i love them.

Very much enjoyed your tribute to "weeds" ... after reading I will definitely have to show them more respect.

Great write!!

We caress them, we beat them
We smoke them, we wrestle them
but we never outlive them.
Almost like our women.

Weeds are indestructible!!! They rebirth and rise again... always. Great poem.

i must be a wierd one i am in favor of the weeds, maybe because i am one myself

My yard is about 30% grass, and 70% weeds. In July and August, when my neighbors' perfectly manicured lawns are all brown, my yard is still a lush and healthy green. Long live the weeds.

I have always considered weeds to be nothing but a nuisance; however, you have given me a new perspective about them. I can see how they are beneficial in many ways. As we speak, they lay wait, getting ready to strike with a vengeance. So, when springtime rain, wind, and sunshine bring their yearly bounty of weeds across the land, it is then that I will think of you and your passion for their usefullness. Here the temperatures are still cold, and we had an inch or so of snow this morning. With this kind of weather, no weed of any kind is about to show his or her face in these parts just yet.

Yes indeed, weeds will win. Glad you brought out the bountiful harvest they make for the insects and birds they are truly a life saver.

Ron,
Weeds are tenacious and always present. We should only have such energy!
Nice poetry glad you reposted!
Peace, love and light,
