I was going to save this until summer when I was rolling in tomatoes (figuratively), but I made some killer salsa over the weekend and my poetry file is low again, so I’m sharing it now. Yum!

Ode to Tomatoes
By Francisco X. Alarcón

they make
friends
anywhere

red
smiles
in salads

tender
young
generous

hot
salsa
dancers

round
cardinals
of the kitchen

hard
to imagine
cooking

without
first asking
their blessings!

    It’s not my poem, and I’m not sure what copyrights apply. I generally post and just hope that the authors will realize I don’t profit from posting their work. That said, I have no problem with you doing the same.
