Thank you to O Miami! for this terrific poetry idea.
Visitors to our table at the Idora Farmers’ Market wrote five-line poems. Each zip code number = the number of words in that line. We enjoyed talking with our visitors, and they wrote some delightful poems, on the spot! Also satisfying to see the Idora Neighborhood Farmer’s Market thriving: jam, blueberries, raspberries, black raspberries and plums. Mmmm, summer.
