Upstarts
A careless hand
Tossed seed hulls out the window.
Soon
A sunflower grew there
Piercing the well groomed lawn
Loomed over by bureaucratic bricks
Yet always facing the sunshine.
A little bit of wildness
A flash of bright orange
Had forced its way through.
In the name of homogeneity,
Somebody mowed it down.
Now a squash is growing along the standard landscaping wall.
Curling neon green tendrils,
A line of coral blossoms
In bright flagrancy.
Fresh Hell 
Amazing vivid language! Can picture it perfectly 🙂

Near me they mowed down the periwinkle cornflowers that grow along the side of the road. What a shame. You captured the image (in words this time!) beautifully, Sarah.
