Nicely done, Eric.
I can see where you're coming from; while beautiful, they really do seem to be a plant that shouldn't thrive here.
Like Tracy, I was struck by those two lines. 
Enjoyed the read.

Welcome, Eric 
Not a typical Sparky poem in style or opaqueness. 
Only crit is the repeated 'birthed'.
I enjoyed this feast of metaphors, especially L4 and L10...and the title is perfect.

Yemen, I assume.  A strong POV I personally disagree with.

If he didn't remove all of the infected material there's a chance it could return...it did, and I had to have a second one. My dentist always handed me a looking glass to show what h...

Jeez, Linda. At this stage I've literally spent the better part of a week in various dentists' chairs; fillings, refillings, crowns, extractions, root canals and a few 'delightful' apicoectomies.
