I know, how love stories go
Love needs cultivated,
Rich soil and warm sun
Two seeds, one show
***
Like Mama says
Love will always be
Where the red fern grows
***
Although,
Due to compaction
Nitrogen side dress malpractice
And general poor management
My heart may be found
Barren.
***
A nutrient deficiency
Deadly lack of nurture
I have necrosis on my lips
***
So, if you’re looking
There are no red ferns here
And love will always be
Where the red fern grows
******
