childrens poetry
Nostalgia-inducing poetry inspired by our earliest favorites; from Dr. Seuss to Mother Goose, children’s poetry is all grown up.
What the Tomatoes Knew
"Tomatoes know where children go when children disappear. They blush because they’ve seen it all and dare not tell you, dear. They’ve seen the houses turn around. They’ve seen the gardens crawl. They’ve seen the great eye open wide behind the kitchen wall. So cut them small and boil them well and never mind their screams. Tomatoes keep their secrets best when softened into dreams."
