Mowing Varieties

Riding or pushing
Back and forth...
Angled or straight
Round and round...
Spiral in or spiral out
Mulch or throw
Bag or rake

I tried them all
Both slowly and hurried
In the sun and in rain
In morning orange light
When neighbors were still waking
And in evening dusk creeping as
Neighbors start sleeping

​The green grass of early
Gives way to the late
Brown dusty patches
When all I knocked down
Was scraggly sharp weeds
