Failed Satisfaction
The grass is greener
Forever on the other side
Man’s wants and man’s desires
As wide as the expansive cosmos
Spanning the universe
Is never satisfied
There’s also the weed
Snorted by the wayward
Who succumbed to base tendencies
Lining back-lanes and winding streets
Unkempt and devoid of directions
There's Seranggoon, cow or Bermuda
From fairway to greens
The one-time Tiger’s lair
Now Rory’s making the scene
Inspired by Poets United, Thursday Think Tank # 59 with prompt 'Grass'
The grass always seems greener on the other side. And i like your description of the weed.

"The one-time Tiger's lair" - nice one!
ReplyDeletePowerful... some are always seeking something better and forgetting what they do have.
ReplyDeleteGolf...perfect take on the prompt!
ReplyDeletewell you took us on the grand tour of grass...the grass is only greener in our imaginations...kinda like any success i have on the golf course...lol
ReplyDeleteSnorted weed and Tiger's lair made me grin--nicely done :)
ReplyDeleteNice. A fine poem, in fact. Very organic, I thought, the construction helpful to the thought. I enjoyed it very much.
ReplyDeleteWell Done; I liked the flow of your words and the journey!~
ReplyDeleteI rarely see the green of the fairways or on the manicured greens; however, I have found a lot of golf balls among the trees while looking for mine. It’s shady there too.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see other names on the roster. My only problem with golf courses is when they decide to bulldoze a precious wetland area to make room for a new one, but that's a small quibble. This take on "Grass" was truly original! Congrats on a great poem. Amy
