My chicory

I spent a long time yesterday trying to identify that roadside blue. Like most things, turns out "my chicory" doesn't look like the models. Well then, neither do I. 

My chicory is more ragged

Than the prettied up pictures

In the book.

The pictures hold the ideal chicory

The model chicory

The chicory made up

With the nature picture version

Of stage make-up:

The strategic dewdrop

The correct lighting.

No wonder I couldn’t figure

My chicory

From the pictures.
