Thanks Walt. I love BB King’s blues and I am sure his songs help the tomatoes to ripen. Take care.

Very cleverly written, Ali. I feel this poem can be interpreted in many ways: summer romance, a lovely time with someone we love or the scenes of summer. As Ann said, the joys of summer are temporary. If only they could last longer but it’s always good to experience it while we can. Hope you are enjoying your summer and take care.

Summer is never long enough for me and maybe that is what makes it so precious. My tomatoes and cucumbers are ripening. I love going out to my garden to pick fresh what I will eat for dinner. Lucky me.
Take good care my friend.

Succulent and delicate. Love the metaphor I guess? I don’t know. The whole fruit and lovers thing cannot be categorised into something, but it surely is wonderful.

Shanyu, I appreciate your reflection. One of the many things I love about poetry is that it doesn’t have to fit in a box.
Keep on writing and sharing your voice.
