Submitted to Lady Nimue’s Months of the Year Challenge for the month of August…the month in which our homegrown heirloom tomatoes are abundant. It seems a bit bizarre to be writing this in sub-zero, snow-pending weather!

Heirlooms
Those brilliant red globes
peer out from behind floppy leaves.
Tomatoes galore!

I worship tomatoes for many years now

Sweet haiku celebrating heirlooms. They’re not the most beautiful fruit are they? My sister grows some of this type as well.

Not always beautiful on the outside, but when you cut them open…and when you taste them!!! Yum.
