Japanese Hedge Parsley is a wildflower in Minnesota that is white. I saw this one hiding in the tall grass. The contrast of the blades and the flowers inspired this little poem. I guess I might had gotten a little carried away with the alliteration.

Gaunt means Pale. In this case white. Therefore, the contrast to all that green.
