Best Tomato Poems

Decisions-decisions
Do you take a job where it's always womb-warm 
working for dirty broken pennies
or poke around in the wind and cold

from beefsteak to compact.
Tomato!  be you red or green,
nutritionally you are boss,
whether topping a salad like a queen
or at the heart of pasta sauce.
Without you, ketchup would be...

Life is a stage
We are the performers
Giving it our all
For some-success
Others-epic fail.

Mockery speaks as tomatoes fly
Covering those that failed
Yet instead of moaning
They wipe the juice off their faces.

When life gives you tomatoes
You wipe it off your face
And make a pizza out of it
It tastes delicious...

Clear as the first ray of sunlight
Scattered, centered, full of light
I fell with a purpose and a need
Yearning for fertile ground

Like the first drop of rain
Into an open heart full of pain
The season of unrealized dreams
The floodgates to those bottled up streams

I fell into a...

Walked out on my sidewalk to the mailbox,
on top of the box was a pair of socks,
I said as I scratched my head,
"Who would leave such socks of red?"
Neighbor's wife replied, "Nude gardening rocks!"...

little tomato
Last of the dying season

I love you most of all
In the absence of
Your fat brothers and 
Blushing sisters 

Though they were exalted  
IN the suns decadent reasoning
They are gone 

Lttle tomato 
I love your hope 
Clinging alone to the grey black
Final branches of...
