In a pub in Henley on Thames drinking and entering poetry competitions I probably wouldn't win for lack of miserableness.
Hop
Seed. Seeded.
Nurtured. Cajoled
Guided. Controlled.
Tutored. Tortured?
Tied up with strings.
Till hop garden springs
to bitter glass.
Merciless. Mercy
for any class.
Branded. Wrapped.
Drunk. Consumed.
Pissed. Splashed.
See? Dead.
Seed – seeded.
