Harvest



Lush .. ripe .. tomatoes
 
like the belly of a pregnant woman 

ready to burst 

dewy .. moist 

attached to life-giving cords 

prime for picking .. devouring 

right from the garden 

ah .. yes .. fresh tomatoes

    Dearest Helen,
    In Mom & Dad's greenhouses I've picked tons of red ripe tomatoes!
    The smell of them was great too.
    Hugs,
    Mariette

    How cruel it'll be. Very dramatic description but you make it adorable, Helen! Love the lighter mood and humor!

    The epitome of Mother Nature, shaped like planet Earth, blushing red, barefoot and pregnant!

    This reads like the intro to a horror story. Very visual!
