Congratulations, Ma'am Fiona for being chosen as modern poem of the day.....

I'm not sure about this one—the meaning—I mean. I'm somewhat dense on the metaphors at times. I love the imagery and certainly enjoy a stroll in the gardens. There's something sinister at work here, though, something threatening to take over the garden. Is it a pest? A parasite? Chaos? Well done, anyway, and will keep me wondering. Perhaps my fellow PH colleagues can elucidate?

To have your house. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

I like this poem, thanks for sharing

down into the unconscious of this stranger moving around your garden like a trap— making all the greens unstable as the warble of nausea come bang up to greet you. Bang to rights is how he'd like to have your house. Nice work.
