Image result for pictures of green fork hook lima beans cooked southern style

B ountiful crop in the garden patch U topia for the plants grown there T umultuous storms' raindrops catch T rickling down each leaf and pod with flair E very farmer waits without a match R everently thanking God in prayer B less this food, these lima beans E njoying the protein beyond compare A lthough they're still a beautiful green N othing's much finer as a side dish to share P lease pass the bowl around the table A ll who desire seconds take a spoon T hose who aren't hungry or unable C onstantly with stomach gas or swoon H appy we'll be not to enable

Your poem was a Gas Sara, I must admit I do enjoy my beans.

Jack, I have heard about Beano and there will be no gas. Maybe some people should give it a try. Thanks for all the visits. Sara

Nice Quintain, Sara, I've never tried this form of poetry, yet. :-) Butterbeans sound good though. Have a pleasant weekend, my friend. Bill

Thanks for the smile, Bill. I mixed some from two forms of poetry acrostic and the Quintain. I guess it is kind of quirky. Your visits are uplifting. Sara

What a happy summertime poem of a bountiful harvest from the earth Sara! Your last line made me laugh a little, for the poor sould who are afflicted by eating beans, there is a product called Beano, a few drops on the first spoonful or so, and it helps ;) Anyway, yum, sounds delicious and truly joyful! I love your very well written acrostic <3

Why, thank you, BJ. I have heard about Beano. I did not know about a few drops on a person's food though. Your visits are always so encouraging. Sara
