Garden terrorist
an infiltrating army
its stolons snaking
creating sleeper cells
establishing ground cover
occupy, consolidate!

Saw edge foliage
unfurl from hairy stems.
Here come grenades
wrapped in white petals
their pins pulled
ready to deliver their payload.

Blood red
bloated with juice
hanging heavy
amongst camouflage.
Shout your name, 'Fragaria'
family of 'Rosaceae'
see them come running, bringing the cream.
