What do watermelon and cabbage possibly have in common? Well, their lovely green and round exteriors, for one thing -- but for another, a great nutritional profile and a humble heritage. Savor some sights of these delectable fruits and veggies, and read more about their bond, at blog.amynelsonhahn.info
Cousins, parlaying
Such glowing globes
not yet for the salver,
not yet for the soup,
these celadons beckon
and long to be enfolded
by the gentlest caress
of mouth and spoon.
A smidge of salt,
so little sweet needs to margin
in the balance of these perfect
natural commodities --
sinew and liquor,
these baste and brew
individual unctions,
verdant with promises --
the past was never bitter, they construe,
what comes next will croon
the sugar from your song.
