I was so busy tending the garden
failed to see what’s growing on the fence
creepers that eventually made inroads
touched whatever was sacrosanct
failed to see what’s growing on the fence
they peeped, creeped and learnt the ropes
touched whatever was sacrosanct
Welcome messages they carried with them
they peeped, creeped and learnt the ropes
I learnt over time to assimilate
Welcome messages they carried with them
Growth happens only with the integration act

I was so busy tending the garden
Growth happens only with the integration act
creepers that eventually made inroads

I really must try this form! Is it a villanelle? It flows so effortlessly.
