A poem in Nove Otto form: 9 lines, 8 syllables per line, rhyme scheme aacbbcddc.

Sweat-soaked shirt, sweat dripping from brow.
Aching back. Should have bought a plow.
Gardening has become a chore.
It seemed romantic long ago,
Lovely flowers and food to grow.
These days I wonder, what's it for?
Weeds are winning, taking over.
Fewer daisies, much more clover.
I've had enough. That's it. No more.
