Story
I feel like a tomato at sunset.
Swinging with the breeze
while the sky turns red.
Suspended on the stem,
I can't move,
I might fall,
I might be picked up,
am I ripe or am I not?
What does a tomato know at the end of the day?
Long growing,
heat seeking,
sun lover.
Tomatoes need vigilant care
as the crop is susceptible
to pest and diseases.
I want to believe
I'm a Crimson Crush,
resistant,
bred for outdoor growing
and for indoor too.
Indeterminate.
