“Greens! Who said?”

I was looking at that wedged path

Across the street

Lined with roses, red and yellow;

Cacti fenced modestly –

Speckled pebbles, black and white.

             Rinsing the veggies, she answered,

            “You’re right about colours.”

             Appetising and healthy –

            Bell peppers, red and yellow;

           Salad leaves arranged modestly –

         Speckled mushrooms, black and white.
