The blight

blighted plants

Black, acrid, destructive.
Destroying the untended.
Fruits and flowers lost.
Maintenance, vigilance, is key.
Your soul, your being, is alive.

-Aaron

    1. Hi Diana! Thanks for reading! I like the simplicity of this poem, but it definitely has several layers to it. I will pass your comments along to the poem's author (Aaron). Thanks for visiting! :-)

    2. @ Diana Mary Sharpton, You are dead on. My own blight was self induced, and anger and selfishness centered. Im just thankful that I grew up and realized all things worth keeping take care and maintenance. thank you so much for your input, it was really how I was feeling at the time. :)
