Tomatoes

Tangy, sweet, or “just right”
Ohs and ahs of sheer delight
Makes mouths water at the sight
Attacks the tongue with spirit bright 
Takes a palate to heaven's height
Olfactory senses come alight
Essentially stirs the appetite
Savor the flavor in each bite

David Fisher Date: 3/25/2024 4:39:00 PM This would make great advertising at a produce store or farmers market. You bring out the best in them!

Paul Bell Date: 3/25/2024 12:51:00 PM Okay, Linda, what's going on with this tomato, am I missing a hidden meaning. Login to Reply Linda Alice Fowler Date: 3/25/2024 1:09:00 PM Nope. No hidden meaning Paul. Was shopping the other day and there were at least seven different varieties to choose from...just made me think of all that bright color and flavor. LOL Thank for coming by. Always good to see you! :)

Jerry Brotherton Date: 3/23/2024 4:04:00 PM Love the acrostic poem, my friend. Nothing better than a bacon and tomato sandwich. My wife will eat them straight from the garden like an apple.

Andrea Dietrich Date: 3/23/2024 10:18:00 AM Love how you did this even though I am not a fan of tomato. I love it as sauce, ketchup or salsa! Login to Reply Linda Alice Fowler Date: 3/25/2024 1:06:00 PM I am more fond of processed tomato as well Andrea, unless I find the low-acidic/ sweet fresh ones. Thank for stopping by! :)
