A Gardeners Fall

[milo]

Hey milo! You make really good points. I've tried writing similar poems to this one recently and I couldn't get past this thought.

"Why would anyone want to read about tossing weeds in a bucket?"

Though I do like the symbolism of like a "weeding out and letting go" metaphor. My hope for S2 and S3 was the reader might liken the scars to weeds being of often "camouflaged" in gardens. I did drop the "old" because it does feel redundant in the context of the stanza. I'll definitely think it over and see if make any solid changes.

Also ending the poem at the previous stanza is a solid idea. Thanks for the read and suggestions

Let me correct this because I think this is important - not the previous stanza - the previous line. The second to last line is one of the best in the poem and, for me, sums it up perfectly - there is nothing need for anything to follow
