Nature’s an opportunist

Nature’s an opportunist
We try to be in control
Distance and rows recommended
Nature ignores them all

Our lawn is now a meadow
Wild plants in control
Blue speedwell in the springtime
With dandelions on call

The mauve of wild mallow
Trying hard to grow tall
Interspersed with yellow oxalis
A little grass between them all

They snuggle up to each other
Each finding their own niche
Sharing skills that we could learn
From the lessons that they teach
