Daucus carota

What is the spot in the middle
Of the delicate Queen Anne’s Lace?
Surrounded by snowy white blooms
It certainly seems out of place.
*
They say Queen Anne was making lace
And tatting the designs by hand
When the needle caught her finger
A stain on the lace did expand
*
Now the flowers cover the land
Thriving in forgotten places
Far from what people call nature
Despite the life in these spaces
*
From afar all you see is white
Flowers waving across the field
It’s not until you get up close
That the colorful is revealed
