Magnificent beauty
The winter cress,
Amiable gold suffuses the petals.
Native species
from apple isle.
Lobed leaves absorb sunlight
Emerald, chartreuse green.
Broccoli aroma
Sweet bitterness detectable.
Deadly livestock
Feed upon,
Harshly used
Neglected beauty.
Invasive weeds
Subjugate the area.
Space compromised
Until winter cress
Falls.
