Six AM
Saturday Morning
Weeds have infested
My front yard
I put on gloves
long-sleeved T-shirt
I pull and dig
To take them out
I want it back
my fair oasis
It will take time
I will be hard
Crowd out the weeds
with fern and flower
don’t give bad seeds
room to spread and sprout
You guessed it. Today’s poem is a variation on a theme. Check out Noxious Weeds.

I really hate talking about myself, but if I have to...
I’m K.L. McDaniel, the person behind TheOtherKLM. I’m an introvert with extrovert moments, a fitness-minded person fighting later-age fat, and someone trying to keep life somewhat organized without pretending it isn’t a mess.
Here, I write about the things I keep coming back to: movement, mental health, learning, self-awareness, and the strange little contradictions that make people interesting. I’m not here to act like I have everything figured out. I’m here to think through it, laugh when possible, and maybe find a little balance in the middle of the clutter.
So, that’s me. More or less.
