One Single Impression: Weed

Weeds:

We find not their use or beauty;
We abandon their names
Though their colors give shape
 And fragrance
 To summer.

    Any plant growing where you don't want it is a weed. Having said that there are few plants I think of as weeds. They are all beautiful in their own way. Like people.

    It all depends on where they choose to grow.

    Oh I used to ignore grasses and weeds until I turned to hiking and found their early morning fragrance intoxicating :D

    We can find beauty in so many things if we just take the time to look. I love the warm yellow color and the droplets of rain/dew! A wonderful reminder, Sandy! Hope you have a great Labor Day Weekend! Enjoy!

    Love the text nd the picture. I have often wondered about the difference between weeds and wildflowers. I post a lot of pictures of (what I prefer to call) wildflowers!

    This is too pretty to be a weed. I prefer to think of it as a wildflower.

    To me this is a sad poem, Sandy. About a beautiful, in its own way, throw-away-plant.

    You could be writing about the hundreds of thousands--could be milions--of throw-away people in the world. Or stray animals.

    What a gorgeous looking weed that is! Looks cheerful especially after a catastrophe like Irene!

    So true, Sandy!
    They add to beauty...
    I have many a times admired them during monsoons amidst the extensive greenery.:)
