I’ve had so many favorite healthy foods
it’s weird to say
in this moment
this time
you have to pick ONE.
So I thought,
and I thought some more,
and my head started going back to
a deep rich red galore
trapped in little seeds
precious as jewels
until you take that first bite.
Have you ever tried
just one seed on its own?
One seed is sharp,
sweet and tangy.
One seed can taste like
the cool memories
of summer
in fall,
or even when
a storm is raging outside/
I love watching my mom
cut open and harvest
the seeds
from the pomegranate hub.
So, I’ve decided
on a day when it’s
bitter, cold
when the world outside my window
was laced with snow
I’d write a poem about
my favorite healthy food
the pomegranate
that gives me energy to do what I
want,
like a writing a poem
about a little pomegranate
seed.
But who knows,
then again,
do I really have
ONE
favorite healthy food?
(No)
But I chose this one.

    You are so smart and creative! Pomegranates are my favorite and they taste so sweet. Right now the stores are selling them and I just can’t stop eating them.

    Pomegranates are good on their own, but i like them best in a juice. You should try pomegranates juice some time!
