Ode to Heirloom Tomatoes


Heirloom tomato,
How I love thee.
Let me count the ways.
You are summer embodied,
With your fleshy acidic sweetness,
and colors!
Red Yellow Green Purple Orange.
And shapes!
Sphere Pumpkin Face Grape Alien.
I enjoy thee simply,
with salt only,
and remember that though our love is fleeting,
I will taste you once again each summer.
