Tomato Haiku
By Kira Hamman
Beautiful red globe
Tantalizing in the sun
I will eat you up
Oh, hornworm, be gone!
Every year you break my heart
You are not my friend
Sweet and juicy fruit
Juice drips freely down my chin
Is that a fruitworm?
Tomatoes are yum!
Reluctant offspring, you are
No child of mine
Welcome, tomato
Into my summer garden
Would you like a drink?

Yikes, Kira! You’re certainly setting a challenge for us here:
Fat yellow teardrops
Clustered thick as chile lights
Are you ripe today?

Brilliant!

Oh, how thy muse doth vex thee,
and still, write you must. Write on!

Red, Ripe and Robust
Jersey tomatoes are best!
Sweet and Succulent
