No Mow May

 No Mow May


No Mow May

No Mow May

But May is still a month away!

And my neighbours cut their lawns today


No Mow May

No Mow May

Now my weeds are on display

(I like to call it a brocade)


No Mow May

No Mow May

The usual suspects dandelion and english daisy

Going a little crazy  (I leave them for the bees)


No Mow April needs a jingle 

No Mow May





Prompt: write a poem that emulates jumping rope and skipping rhymes

  3. 'No Mow May' should be a thing. I told the gardener not to mow the lawn, a fortnight ago, when he made it look like a shaved head.
    I find dandelions and daisies pretty, although, I've heard they can be a menace. Lovely poem.

    1. Yes, I think it is a thing, and it works for me because I’m lazy.

  4. Love this. No Mow May has such a ring to it. And that 'brocade' analogy-- that's sublime.

    1. Thanks Arti, yes the brocade idea came from a gardening friend years ago and it’s stuck with me.
