Ragtag Daily Prompt Thursday: Bark

Behind my house

where the bugs and bats and noisy birds live

the trees are being murdered

by something with sweet smelling leaves and smooth cool skin.

I think the trees are screeaming

but I how do I start

to tell anyone about

the Vicious Ivy that tears and eats bark.

What if Ivy Vicious

knows it was me who told

and

Vicious Bloodthirsty Ivy

figures out where I live?
