Summer Love
perfectly ripe, round
and ready to be plucked
it will be every bit as delicious
as this anticipation
from the first kiss
to the fleshy bite--
juice running, thick with seeds
lusty with scent and hungry
to lick up spice and sun
together we'll burst
tomatoes stewing in a pot
skins split, red
simmering and sweet
--smh
My tomatoes
aren't ripe yet,
so I'll just
hop on over to
for my summertime
flavor fix.
Hope you'll do the same . . . and
Happy Monday!

Dang - now I'm hungry.
delicious magpie!
So you've got your "Happy Thoughts" you write on a daily basis, you work on your craft on a daily basis, and now you are writing Magpies about once a week. I'd say your creative muscle is getting a nice, healthy work out.
Love it! (And I'm even started to enjoy tomatoes, so I can appreciate your magpie)
WHAT?! A Cannon girl who eats tomatoes? Has the world gone mad? Or is it just a bit of pregnancy madness?
(And some of us are just trying to keep up with the creative output of people like you!)
Very nice...the splitting of skins - stewed tomatoes..I use them for everything....bkm
Cookin' 'em up is the best way to serve tomatoes, imho. Tasty Magpie!
deliciously delectable and well done! :) Rather enjoyed it.
Deliciously delightful!
Beautifully written with just the right amount of sass and sauce!
nice. you were able to pul from various aspects of tomatoes and paint and intriguing and somewhat saucy tale. nice magpie.

This gave me a wonderful craving for fresh tomato soup!
