WHAT THE POMEGRANATE KNOWS
Each of us
is a vessel
containing
glittering jewels
hidden beneath
a seemingly tough skin.
Our inner selves
are chambered –
labyrinthine and complex.
We are both
sweet and tart
and we are
definitely
worth the effort.

Pomegranates are one of my very favorite fruits. Mom was an adventurous eater, and she did everything she could to pass this along to my brother and me. Whenever an unusual fruit or vegetable showed up in our small-town Safeway grocery store, she would buy it for us to try. Good memories.

EDITED TO ADD: I can’t stand this linkup. Here are the links without you having to wait five seconds to see the blog post. Ugh.
