Vegetable Couture

The Widow Wyile contemplates
the possibilities of edible
couture
the fashion choices
were she to clothe herself
in garden vegetables 

Would she choose
stunning rainbow swiss
chard for a gown
or the shimmering silver
of Russian kale with its purple
veins? A lettuce skirt
or one of carrot tops to dance
around in? a peapod waistcoat
or a zucchini flower cape?
the options for fascinators
are unlimited from fennel
to asparagus fronds
from nasturtium blooms
to their leafy parasols
though perhaps she would prefer
a chanterelle chapeau
or one of cooling cucumber
this verse has but begun
to account for all the crunching
fun of beans that run
and brassicas that could wrap
this way and that

Nor is she the only one
to contemplate the notion
of a veggie fashion plate: behold
this artist’s visions!
