Kudzu

"Mile-a-minute vine"
"Foot-a-night vine"
"The vine that ate the South"

In Georgia, the legend says
That you must close your windows
At night to keep it out of the house.
The glass is tinged with green, even so...

From the poem, "Kudzu,"
by James Dickey

In this photo the kudzu has taken over several trees that grew along the banks of the New River near Pembroke, Giles County, Virginia.
