indigofera tinctoria
grows in exotic rhyme;
soaking leafy euphoria
creates true blue in time
beat limed water, oxidate
into beautiful navy froth;
overnight paste will precipitate
filtered through cotton cloth
add sugary schemes,
ferment in vat for
tie-dyed indigo dreams!
Lillian hosts Monday quadrilles at dVerse Poets on “indigo” theme. I found this website that describes process of making indigo dye.
