Hi chris,
Gardening World again, yes?
Bloody crabgrass (we call it Digitaria, we mycologists...or just poacea!)
Anthropods still throws me, though.)
All will come clear...maybe.
Best,

Coup Détente

In defiant opposition
to our lean blades I want it to be "keen" blades because Pratensis has no claim to lean-ness that I can get immediately. Does it matter? Perhaps not...there's more to come!
of Old Kentucky Blue,
centurion clonesComma. Surely.
donning gold helmsComma. Surely.
annexed our sun
and stormed en masse....but "..donning gold helms" is so good it makes "en masse" seem gallically bad.

Scuttling on their armored
arthropod legs, crabgrass [b]Nope. Just don't get it. The crab=anthropod but that's it. Where is this going? We are talking GRASS here, aren't we?So what scuttles?
took our main grounds
when water rations ran low.Nicely observed. Veracity verse.

Rebellious ivy ascended
our regime’s façade.Not sure about the use of "regime" here. Do regimes have walls? Metaphorically you may be in a rack. Can't help. Sorry
Ramparts were reclaimed;Comma only here. There is a strong sentence requirement staring at you. Why deny its existence?
festooned in dreadlocks. Look. It's good. OK? It is just a little to contrived now. I don't know how you could get out of it without napalm

Mum in our room,
having lost all our blooms,
we plot to reseed
another day.Hmmm. Well, it's certainly a twisted end. Mandrake to you!
