Perfect syllable count for the 5-7-5 prompt. Love the description. suggestion is indeed very powerful and you have used it well.
You do know how to say something without saying it. This piece can be interpreted however the reader wishes.
Good luck in the contest but I do think you have a winner

This sounds like casual sex at the office. I like the analogy to blooming weeds, shows how some people are like weeds in their behavior. Your words are true to life and reflect human behavior.

Loved the play on words here, Spit. It literally drips with sexual innuendo and connotation. Of course, perhaps it could be just me, and I have a mind which is well seated in the gutter. Hard to say for sure. It would appear that business isn't quite as brisk these days in the sperm bank business, by the looks of all the weeds blocking the pathway. But the "back door entrance" business, well...thankfully that's still alive and well, at least in many bedrooms. LOL.

You've done it again...

    Drips with sex innuendo, exactly what I intended. :-)

This is one of your best yet. I have to be honest, without the illustration I probably would be scratching my head. Absolutely marvelous and equally clever. How do you do this over and over. I wish I had a 6 to give you, but, alas, I am out.

    My hubby didn't see the picture and I had to explain it to him. Sigh...

    Inspired when I took a walk outside a medical building today while waiting for hubby. Tall blades of grass popped out of trimmed bushes. Ha,ha.

Am thankful you posted a photo with the poem - I'd have had a difficult time rating this one! Great point-match with the blossoming weeds and full bushes - only you could write 'sperm donor entrance' with a straight face. Like the creativeness. Fun read. Jean

    Did you get my message that I loved your book, Dancing with Demons and I did read them at bedtime.

This drips (excuse the pun) with clever and witty sexual innuendo, Shari.

So many interpretations and images could be gained by your metaphoric plays on words.

Excellent!

Cheers, Ray xx

Very inventive. There are weeds trying to gain entrance. They are usually successful and probably more fertile than the more desirable flowers. Isn't that life? Like the numerous worthless guys who produce a lot of children without acknowledging them or helping raise them. Great analogy, and great last line "sperm donor entrance." judi

    Thanks, judi, for being a faithful reviewer too. I think of those gay guys though who won't pass on those genes any other way. Sigh...

Ha! There's the senryu queen at her finest. Great visual of blooming weeds pushing through the full bush at back office door...sperm donor entrance. Oh my, the power of suggestion, you say. 8-)

    Wonder if it would work as well as porno films. Somehow I doubt it. LOL
