A Botanical Error
"A Botanical Error" is a playful poem in which Peggy, a young woman skilled in botany, wears a sprig of mistletoe in her hair on Christmas Eve — claiming she simply didn't know what it was. The poem winks knowingly at her light-eyed, unsurprised reaction to the kisses that follow, leaving readers to decide whether her botanical error was truly an error at all. Short, clever, and laced with gentle irony.
