chili peppers
in the snow
intensifying their heat
Hot In Cold
Regimental Colors
colour guard
young chard
ensign
Life Blood
wet from rain
chard veins
pulse with life
Stalked
the mighty squash
produces a stem
solid as a trunk
Kholrabi
tamed from a wild cabbage
wedded with a turnip
farm stand favorite
At The Root Of It
The humble turnip reveals
all the beauty, all the struggle
of life.
