A burst of sunshine, restricted by a vine
You reach to the skies
Waiting to explode
Each dish with endless color and
Flavor
Like a hot air balloon,
You rise above the rest
Suspended
Promising a journey for the senses
The first bite
A sweet explosion
The earthy taste infused by the vine
The tart sun-kissed skin --
Summer,
Held captive in a child’s hand,
Ready to be released to the world.
You are a chameleon
Adapting
Selfish
You want to be the star
Lighting up kitchens everywhere with
Your crisp and colorful
Skin and
Your soft and flavorful flesh
Your seeds
Creating even more opportunities
To shine this food’s light
On every inch of the
World.
From the first bite of a crisp garden salad
To the slow-cooked warmth of a ragu
To the heat of a spicy Thai curry
You fill bellies left and right,
Far and wide with your global inspiration
A celebration of summer bounty
