Iowa Writes KATHY KAPITAN Thankful for sweet peppers Sweet Italian red peppers Arranging peppers Spilling scarlet red over the blue crock bowl Five pepper pyramid Luscious blood-red cones lined up straight across the pink Depression glass plate A prairie sunset of sweet peppers spanning the bookshelves Her sweetheart joined her play Topping the TV with a trio of lipstick peppers Resting across the teacup, a long Italian red Surprising each other Tomorrow afternoon Barbara called last night |
