transplant
from the east
seems out of place
here, overlooked as a wild noxious weed

Poetry form for the month of May: Tetractys/5 lines/syllable count 1-2-3-4-10.

From Wikipedia: Allium vineale (wild garlic, onion grass, crow garlic or stag’s garlic…also called “Dready”) is a perennial, bulb-forming species of wild onion, native to Europe, northwestern Africa and the Middle East. The species was introduced in Australia and North America, where it has become a noxious weed.

I had never seen this plant before. Of course I had to look it up!

It may be pretty, but plant it at your peril! You’ll be trying to get rid of it for years to come. I know!!!!!!

    White ones seem to be the worst. They look pretty but are a devil to get rid of. I spent all afternoon thinning mine out, and pulling up forget-me-nots, another invasive beauty.
