It is the natural instinct of a plant to grow extend its roots as far as possible to look for water so as to ensure survival.
When i saw this picture, i was reminded of the thirst a the plant to survive, and Nature's power to destroy a man made structure. No matter how strong a man made structure is, it can always be destroyed by Nature. There have been many disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis to prove this point.
This is something we see frequently on the roads of Singapore, but its not something we really think about.
This poem i have written is a shape poem. In my poem, i hope the reader can visualise how the roots extend into the road when they see the 'e's extending into the word 'cement'.
