Poetry: Soldiers

by Mary Costigan

Created on: October 26, 2008

Proudly they stand

Skinny soldiers of green

No fingers or hands

But

Oh so mean

Twelve inches in height

Guarding my yard

Powered by sunlight

From

Dawn to dark

My mower won't slice

Those menacing weeds

Any advice

To

Help me succeed?

A velvet soft lawn

Is my desire

To walk barefoot

Or

Build a campfire
