Dear Everyone:

I was recently in my grocery

store and saw masses of flowers

on stands. This seemed out of place

amongst the foodstuffs

until I thought that open-air farm

markets often have fresh flowers

along beside the vegetables and fruit.

At any rate I am writing poetry

and so share my poem and photos

of this subject.

Flowers are Inedible

In clear sight of the vegetables

Blooms behind cellophane

massed on stands

Unexpected
Florist in a grocery store

Orchids, roses, carnations

Do you have a special occasion

Blooms in a grocery store

Inedible, but luscious

Take me home

Helen.
