Spitting Watermelon Seeds

Watermelon slices
that smell so ripe and sweet
Take me back in time again
when mother sliced the treat

Sitting in the kitchen
with the window opened wide
Spitting watermelon seeds
out to the other side

Dan Kearley Date: 6/7/2012 2:58:00 PM :o) We always had to go outside...Ha ha Login to Reply Samia Ali Salama Date: 6/7/2012 4:52:00 PM Hey Dan, The only reason I could spit them out the window was because we lived in a second floor apartment that faced the back yard (everything cement - in the Bronx), and the pigeons ate the seeds! LOL :)
