along the roadside flourish
umbrella shaped
white lace seemingly
poisonous and
foreboding it is...
queen Anne's lace by
name is called,
pretty to the sight
but not the taste,
and those who practice
in the arts of deception
find it oh so familiar,
hairy, solid and
tripinnate it be,
not really in the
queen's family...
thought to be hemlock
soon discarded
put in pots instead
attracting insects.
