High Climbers
Morning Glories
have taken the beds,
choking out the roses and zinnias,
growing high up the porch.
Daily flowers
produce daily seeds,
which will fall,
reseed
and overwhelm me
again, next year.
Should have known better
than to plant them
in the first place.
But, these heavenly hues
are irresistible
and it is said
the seeds will make you high.

I feel the conflict- enjoy the fun but live with the consequences. A metaphor for sure! I fight the urge to plant them every year.
