Bud

Perhaps not quite what was on the tip of your mind.  Please join haiku in welcoming this handsome 2-year old boy to Kim's home.  Perhaps, he reminds you of someone?   (Answer:  see below).

And the poem?  It's sleeping.  If you listen closely, you can hear snores -- faint & delicate as a well-crafted line break.   As a healthy salad.   

Prickly

As in pears but the more inedible kind.  Arms with stubby fingers, red from jam.  And this one in front of the house -- deliciously unruly.   Unruly, as most poems.

Kolrabi

Almost as strange as cacti though far easier to eat.  And versatile as the taste of a poem.  Peppery or mild --  your call.

Unruly

Is this an unlikely or unruly salad?  If you knew the ingredients

could you then determing unlikely or unruly?  In contract, 

poetry is both unlikely & unruly.  Often at the same time. Often in different directions. 

(Hint:  the yelow is fuyu persimmons.)

Unlikely

friends.  haiku on left (recently 11), Kodiak on right.
And in poetry, the unlikely takes the voice & shape
of non sequitur poems.  Of this, I am sure at least
when moon visible.  And in food, the unlikely
manifests as unusual combinations.  The salad
is mostly likely the most non sequitur food I know.

Feet

as  in walking because you see so much more at ankle-level when you walk than when driving.  And feet are pens to pavement/road as feet are the musical instrument to poetry.  Who cares?  At ankle-level flowers shine

-- immediate & beguiling.

What of cooking, you ask?  Lots of edible flowers.  But some not.  Like mushrooms, be careful.  Be doubly cautious -- some poetry is lethal.
