The Land of Aubergine

Brief: The Land of Aubergine

I search for the land of Aubergine
Where the Egg Plant is nurtured and raised
Pods of Byzantium Airships
Succulence with a Periwinkle glaze

Connie Marcum Wong Date: 7/14/2017 9:53:00 PM I love your creative description of this wonderful delicious plant! It is a nightshade and I can't eat it anymore because of that. It makes my arthritic knees flare up, but I sure do miss it in my diet. Your last two lines are simply brilliant! Congratulations on your high placement Kevin!
