carrots & peonies

root to bloom they captivate

from earthy folds

beta-carotene
struts orange

above pink
flower-fluff

skiving petals
ruffle a fist

of pawn tickets
beneath a horny bunch

quick to imbibe
wild juice

and crunch

ants peel petals from

miniature cabbages

Raindrops on the first peony at Willow Manor...
