A time machine of nostalgia
Gripping tightly to my thoughts
Tastebuds awakening
With long-forgotten flavor
—
Unappreciated by many
Its uniqueness shines
Through summer days
At grandma’s house
—
Freshness and crunch
Deliciousness embodied
Nothing quite compares
To this crimson beauty
—
A garden offering
Straight from the soil
Though celery’s lookalike
Of little relation
—
Crispy, tangy goodness
Wrapped in a coral hue
But don’t eat the leaves
Whatever you do
—
Pairing perfectly with
Its satisfying companion
Ivory crystals hugging
This sleek, rosy stalk
—
The moment arrives
For this delectable treat
Bright red rhubarb with sugar
Tart, luscious, simple, and sweet!
