Samia Ali Salama Poet Rhyme

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 June 7, 2012 at 2:58 PM :o) We always had to go outside...Ha ha Samia Ali Salama June 7, 2012 at 4:52 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 :)
