hello little tomatoes so sweet
thank you for finding your way into this dry, hard soil
thank you for being brave, strong, bursting through this earth
lifting your limbs towards the light of our sun
growing, growing, growing
strong
vibrant
completely aware of your purpose
I can’t help but to pluck your sweet fruit
I can’t help but admire your beauty and grace
through the golden sunlight
each tiny hair
yellow flowers destined to become fruit
the scalloped hat you wear
your change in color
from green to red
I’m happy you chose my garden to thrive
to grow
to give
thank you
I have been invited by basildonkitchens aka Connie my cosmic twin to the Five Photos, Five Stories Challenge: “Post a photo each day for five consecutive days and attach a story to the photo. It can be fiction or non-fiction, a poem or a short paragraph and each day nominate another blogger for the challenge”. I discovered Connie’s beautiful blog when I was on wordpress and noticed right off the bat we had some things in common. I admire her talent for making gorgeous quilts, her love of the sea and of course Mr. Sock Monkey, he gets me every time. When I want to get away and look at beautiful things, I come visit Connie. She keeps herself busy with a photo a day challenge she faithfully participates in with fat mum slim.
Now I would like to invite relax and float downstream, one of my longest readers/followers who happens to be a really great writer. Often when I read her blog posts, I nod my head in agreement. She has not written in a while, maybe this might be the spark to get her going.
