This poem says you want to use ground cover instead of grass for your lawn. It would seem strange to have a blue lawn instead of a green one. Maybe you can borrow a neighbor's mower until you can get a new one.
Good luck in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy.

Thanks, Joan. Unfortunately, the yard is a steep cliff-side, and not really conducive to mowing. :( I ended up just ripping out the rye grass by hand on Saturday, and hopefully I got most out by the roots and before it could drop seed.

You're welcome. I hope you got it all too.

Hello, Aiona,
Nice entry for the 5-7-5 Poetry Contest. Good syllable count. Pretty presentation. The parenthesis throw me off.

Thanks, Gypsy. Yeah, I tend to overdo exclamation marks, ellipses, and parentheses. I will work on it.

There are lots of really pretty ground covers... a lady up the street from me has all of these little blue flowers too... they aren't that though, I'm not sure what they're called. Dolly wrote about them at some point! LOL Before you decide, check them all out! :) Alyssum gets sooo awesome! (if it will grow where you are)

I like Alyssum too! It re-seeds itself nicely! Thanks for the review.

Oh, yes, give me low maintenance every time - in women as well as lawn grass and gardens!
I liked the mock romantic nature of your 5-7-5 poem. I'm sure you will get your heart's desire soon.

Thanks for the ground cover information. I looked it up and you can get 1,000 seeds for about $5. I hope you find a good remedy. I am overrun with forget-me-nots. Finally, I get to review your post while it's still active.

LOL! I love forget-me-nots! I have those too! They seed themselves, thank goodness. I love them!

They have become a menace as they took over my rock path. Sigh.
