Food to the table, we sow and reap
In the pleasures of spring
To keep our pantries deep
In vegetables, fruits, and honey sans bee sting
Red, ripe tomatoes gush their goodness
Next to yellow squash and green zucchini
We giggle and eat until fullness
Savoring the garden-flavored tortellini
Summer banquet never end
We long for your taste embrace
Alas, the fresh baskets now shallow
As the garden planters go fallow
Our winter dreams recall summer
When we ate all wanted at supper.

Nice one! All those lovely tasty fresh veggies.
Unfortunately for many people, it’s more along the lines of......
we go to ALDI and fill up our trolley
all those lovely frozen foods oh golly
no pesky cooking just microwave
just think of how much time I save;)

Hi @wordymouth! I really enjoyed this poem. Ah, the fruits of our labor. : ) It reminds me of when I had a garden many years ago. It was nice to be able to walk in the back yard to pick the veggies to go with dinner each night. So fresh and tasty. : )

Congratulations!!
