Carrots Considered

A poem.

October 15, 2009

CARROTS CONSIDERED by T.C. Powell Unique as people
Arrayed in the market bin Hard, matured, crusty as a veteran
Or mild, culled from the nursery Buried in bent, twisted bodies

That one rich, earthy Gritted with soil The sweetest part
That inner vein
An orange soul In bunches Alone
