Vegetable man? Or woman? How can you tell?
Le Veritable Amour
There it was again
sweet woodsy, whispering breeze.
On
Warm air, and salty sea
wistfully teasing.
Busy bees
buzzed incessantly,
overhead again.
A million cicadas screamed.
this day
A chilly wait for making
moment spectacles,
of branches sprouting
luscious flowers blooming,
you were born
you were born
with sticks and stems trembling
and deafening roots squatting.
Every delicious, edible delight
all intoxicatingly romantic
and incredibly loved
we begin playing chase again.

This is lovely ... gender might be irrelevant when consuming something so yummy :)
Earthy and lovely...
this was a playful read that I enjoyed reading that made you think at the same time, good work
Clever picture, clever words. That’s a game of chase I’d like to witness!
ha...like your descriptions in this...and the embedded message as well...smiles...
A sparkling, original response to the prompt.
Oh, my gosh! It makes me hungry, but it's too beautiful to eat!!!
Funny! Looks like it took a ton of work.
If I had this chap chasing me, I'd run like billy-o!
A true piece of art Karen, both the fruit and veg arrangement and the writing, well done!
Interesting and delicious poem on love.
Lovely chase around the garden ~ The underlying sensuality is great as well ~
I immediately though it was male-
and by the end of your poem I thought baby!
Well, there is something deliciously heathen about it. Me gusta. :)
yumyum!
looks like a man to me...i can see bushy eyebrows and a mustache (hmmm, guess that doesn't always mean it's a man though)...
