A Research Poem - D. Schmitz


Compost Fodder Crops

Fagopyrm esculentum
Viridian growing waves
Cool to my fingers
Chases the weeds

Vicia villosa
A nitrogen fix
Limit fall and spring
Time used well

Borago officinalis
Purple blue stars
Nestling fat bumbles
Sandpaper leaves

Medicago sativa
Cousin of beans
Parties well with others
Or all alone

Trifolium incarnatum
Red spiked heads
Lush green bodies
Murder in summer
