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!!

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
