070416.Claverton, The Lively Ivy Viney Crawled up the Water Bridge

April 16, 2007 at 1:39 am | In Bridges, Canals, Claverton, countryside, somerset |

The lively ivy viney crawled up the water bridge
Deep into mortar grew its roots along the ridge
While trapped moisture and the sun fed its photosynthesis
But the resultant mortar loss means the bridge is now much missed

  2. I think you need to expand “vine” to “viney.”

    The lively ivy viney crawled up the water bridge!

    Down came the frost- put the viney in the fridge!

    Up came the sun and warmed up all its veins!

    And the lively ivy viney crawled up the bridge again!

  5. Your new poem made me bust out laughing. Very well done. Not many people try to rhyme “photosynthesis.”
