Seeds Deservedly Dealt

'Foggy' location seeds were from, curiosity won Five months later, wanderer from roof tall trellis hung Violet globe pods were bitter but oddly addictive Several dozen daily dose, sour juice inflicted Soon supplied smoothie zing, purple milk vibrant Irresistible, the youth inducing effect they provided A year after planting, I'd positively lost ten Face entering wrinkle free twenties again! Friends amazed by results of youth fruit blessed After eighteen short months, I appeared adolescent Freely sharing my vivacious treacherous discovery From her desirable rewinding hand, no recovery Benjamin Button's slow motion journey ridiculed - My eight year old routinely tucks me into bed!! 9th August 2020

Very clever to relate the power of the seeds to the "growing younger" theme of Benjamin Button, Sigrid! I really enjoyed reading your poem and wish you would tell me where I might get some of these seeds... Congratulations on your win in the contest! Best wishes, Carolyn
