Tasty! Love the twist at the end
This is such a playful piece and I love the ending.
Fun poem and good things to know. And yes, technically, they are fruit, but I still prefer to think of them as a vegetable.
Lovely sensory-filled, playful poem! The Wallace Steven’s reference is great, too.
Short and juicy it is! Love watching you play with words and ideas, Tabitha!
Great ending!
An enjoyable, fun read.
