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...

I kill for tomatoes if only they were satisfied with some~ the fat, green caterpillars -- Weeds seem always to thrive -- like children somehow in the gutter – soil of the street never needs tilling, or nitrogen added, handily replenishes its own filth and acrid scent -- Occasionally one ripe with good seed is spared both plate and gutter then to be...

The moonbroch is quite pronounced tonight—rain can’t be far off. It will be good for the vegetable garden and save my back from having to cart water for a few days. Not too much rain, though, as the skins of the tomatoes would split; they are about to be harvested ... in their prime ...

Slowly moving, so eloquently in black and white Killing the verve; in the cool, still fall night Unique with a foul stench No K-9 warning labels Kindness requires; bathing you, in the blood of a thousand tomatoes...

Men Dont Fit the Sex Symbol
For women men drop big cash To have them toothy smiles flash: If one needs windows, gets Sash: Blenders to tomatoes mash, Women quite free to sound brash! For handsome men – No! A Trash! Even Eves the idea thrash, For being infinitely rash, Save one did cash in banks stash… Macho Men can’t their teeth gnash Nor round with displeasure dash: Whether...

“The songs are casual and careless in a satisfying way, like the used condom your latest lover left lying on your bedroom floor, a souvenir you’re not yet ready to dispose of.” Candy Cotton, Modern Woman’s Advisor “Their lyricism is incredibly lean, There’d be a whole other side of bacon you’d have to fry before there’d...

“Physics asserts that there are four fundamental forces: electro-magnetism, gravity, and the strong and weak nuclear forces. These gentlemen have made a compelling argument for the existence of a fifth, desire.” Dr. Howard Pollison, National Physics Review “Stumbling upon this remarkable production was like mistakenly walking in on a stranger’s wake; I couldn’t just turn around...

Cleaning Tomatoes
They sat in a large blue bowl all afternoon, In tap water and stillness. She cleaned them that evening. She did not see the little cuts, not the gaping brown sores. She did not see the dirt specs float down the spirling drain. She saw perfection as it was, hard-won, with just reward. One bite as...

Life Is Just a Bowl of Cherry Tomatoes
A backyard planter bursting with Tomatoes on the vine Provided treats for several mouths And one of them was mine. My son’s the one who grew ‘em. His daughter and her aunt Plucked only those deemed red enough; The rest stayed on the plant. While picking was in progress, My son trimmed leaves that died, Which my grandgirl helped me gather up To toss off to...

Space Overtaken To many tomatoes fill up my fridge Grown from the garden, a tasty delish When seeds were first sown, did a no show Planted some more, twice many did grow Offered some out to family and friends But they had themselves twenty times ten With seedlings now to many to count Not one to be wasted began to place out Seedlings aligned...
