I can just feel your satisfaction, turning a difficult task into something so positive. From the 8th line down you start your amazing imagery and I loved it all. 'Pounce' too really grabs the reader. Great work. 10 Karin Anderson

I love the zoom-in effect, Lady Macbeth! I love the smells that your poem conjures up. Personally, I'm addicted to the smell of earth, & weeds, etc. But I suspect that your poem is about something much deeper than the roots of weeds...
Thank you, Laurie, for your spontaneous and lovely reply! Giggles, yes I do sound like Lady Macbeth don't I? Me, too, I love the smells of the earth and plants! You could well have been right about it being deeper, but no, this one goes no deeper than the roots of weeds.

I'm delighted you got the zoom-in effect so well! Thank you for that too!
