TO BOSTON IVY
I wish my writing was of a hardier sort
like Boston Ivy that clings without support
and never sheds its leaves and grows in any aspect.
I’d like to write like Boston Ivy
with my pink flush autumn success
shimmering on me.
Instead of which I cling
only when supported
like Clematis Armandi.
And sport my purple flowers
sparingly, singly
and sometimes not at all!
