Poem: Fresh Feast

Fresh Feast

The bounties of summer are here,

Buy sweet tender corn by the ear,

Carrots as bright as the afternoon sun,

Juicy red grapes – second to none,

Lettuce as crisp and moist as the dew,

Spinach so green it beckons to you,

Cucumbers, onions, radishes too,

Red peppers, beets to name just a few,

Green beans grown tall in the heat of the day,

Pumpkin vines swirling every which way,

Tomatoes and apples, red as can be,

Eat a ripe peach right from the tree,

Fix a grand feast from the bounties you see,

They’re growing for you and growing for me,

We're ever so lucky

Don't you agree?
