today is to be
a weeding day
gone 17 the beds and rows paths even
overflow with splendor
and those leggy ratted invaders
aliens just trying to exist in and amongst
intended blossomings

Like Philip Larken (an myself on occasion LoL) you like using the “kickstart” method, e.g. of a title that is a living part of the poem. You use this very effectively.
Just a thought…any chance you could give us more specifics, e.g. what is going to be the splendor, can you name those invaders? It’s just an idea. Feel free to ignore.
I end poems quickly, and always ask myself this very question! I feel as if I can go back through old poems and create longer expressions of the snapshot I’d created 🙂 License to take my time….lol. Thank you for sticking your nose out!
