Sara Kendrick Poet Senryu

Notes About The Poem

Lettuce

 leaf lettuce plus red
washed through three cold water baths  ....
slug falls in sink  

To make matters worse, I just read an article on the internet where a person found a baby poisonous snake in a bag of lettuce that her son sent to her from the store chain called "Aldi's". It was alive. I guess it was fresh lettuce but deadly. My lettuce was from our garden.

Mystic Rose Rose April 16, 2021 at 4:07 PM wow, luck you washed it thrice, I normally add a drop of oregano oil in the water kills all germs, :) thanks for sharing Sara Sara Kendrick April 17, 2021 at 4:05 PM Mystic, If the oregano oil lingered my husband would not eat it so I can't do that. He loves the flavor when he goes to a place called Aviano's Greek and Italian Restaurant but when I use oregano in my cooking he says he doesn t like it. Sara

Victor Buhagiar April 15, 2021 at 9:46 AM Good way to get rid of the slugs. Sara Kendrick April 16, 2021 at 3:13 AM Victor, I wish there was a way to get rid of them permanently in our garden. We used to not have them then for the past few years they are a real nuisance. Your visits always buoy my spirits. Sara
