ode to the pomegranate.

|| the wind swept her onyx tresses aside as she skipped down the lane, her heart filled with all merriment as though her shoulders carried naught a care in the world - her little world. her basket swung half as gaily as the little sprite tripped down the gentle incline. her chap hands nestled a bright pink fruit, cradling the jewel gently as she began to twist it off the mother tree. her eyes glimmered with ecstasy as they focused on the bright scarlet gem enclosed within her palm - cracking the firm skin, there enclosed were a myriad of deliciously tart clusters. and in that moment the day was a happy day. it was a autumn's day. it was a pomegranate day. ||

happy tuesday, darlings!

  2. Okay, so I think I ought to come and live with you for about 365 days and so when fall comes around, I will be there picking pomegranates with you. Savvy?

    And hey, pomegranates were my favorite fruit even before they became a fad so I can appreciate this post from an original pomegranate hoarder. Such foresight as I have...

    Love you, ducky!

  7. We really don't have pomegranates up here in Maine. I have to satisfy myself with picking apples. *smile*
    The bokeh in your first photo? Stunning.

    Hugs,
    Emily.

  10. Lovely verse, Grace! I've never seen a pomegranate that hadn't already been plucked & wasn't sitting in the grocery store. God is amazing to make such red "jewels!"
    Love,
