Plant Shopping

Heirloom tomatoes,
Hot peppers, thyme, basil, mint,
Rosemary, hops vine,

Zinnias, impatiens,
Gerber daisies, petunias,
Scarlet begonias,

And a blackberry
Plant whose syllables did not
Fit the haiku scheme.

Yet we'll love the blackberry bush, nonetheless.

  1. This has got to be the winner, thus far, of the bold exploration of the Haiku universe!!

  2. I am quite intrigued by the hops vine among those herbs...I wonder what dish it might enhance...
