Rhizome Poem by Andrew J. Jones

Rhizome



a somewhat elongate
usually horizontal
subterranean plant stem
that is often thickened by deposits
of reserve food material,
produces shoots
above and roots below,
and is distinguished from a true root
in possessing buds, nodes,
and usually scalelike leaves
