With Snow Peas and Roses All in A Row!

Ode To Snow Peas

I looked away just one day and you swell up and

burst forth from your hiding place

among the roses.

What mischief went on

within the chiaroscuro realm

behind the fences?

Fecundity will have it’s way!

It’s to late for absolution or confession,

you’re showing

now.

Get out the ginger, rice

and water chestnuts,

this evening

I’ll be serving up some

lovely dishes.

I looked up the history nursery rhyme Mary Mary quite contrary before I wrote this. That must have influenced me to go to such a strange dark place.  The Mary is betrayed Mary Queen of Scot’s.

  1. We had lovely snow peas in our hanging gardens a few months ago. Too hot for them here, now, but for about one sweet, sweet month, we feasted.
