Mountain princess
Princess of the sky
Sky filled with light
Light that doesn’t lie
~
Walking to the early dawn
Edge of love’s eternity
Eternity to which she’s drawn
Drawn to God’s beauty
~
She is the mountain princess
Princess of beauty and light
Light upon light for always
Always seeking what’s right

“And now, our (optional, as always) daily prompt! April is a time for planting things (at least where I am, in Washington DC – you may still be waiting for spring, or well into some other season!) At any rate, I’ve recently been paging through seed catalogs, many of which feature “heirloom” seeds with fabulous names. Consider the “Old Ivory Egg” tomato, the “Ozark Razorback” or “Fast Lady” cow-pea, “Neal’s Paymaster” dent corn, or the “Tongues of Fire” bush bean. Today, I challenge you to spend some time looking at the names of heirloom plants, and write a poem that takes its inspiration from, or incorporates the name of, one or more of these garden rarities. To help you out, here are links to theSouthern Exposure Seed Exchange and the Baker Creek Seed Company. Also, here’s a hint – tomatoes seem to be prime territory for elaborate names. And who knows, maybe you’ll even find something to plant in your garden! Happy writing!” Hosts of NaPoWriMo~2016
I chose the Mountain Princess tomatoe!

Carol, you are so clever. 🙂
This a cute ‘looping’ poem. I didn’t realize that the Mountain Princess was a tomato species.
Neither do I have a green thumb.

What a lovely tribute to the wonderful tomato. Can’t wait for some vine ripened ones this summer. Beautiful poem. Love this: “Edge of love’s eternity
Eternity to which she’s drawn
Drawn to God’s beauty”
