What do basil and tomatoes have to do with writing a poem?
Basil and tomatoes are a perfect combo and just as ripe and delicious as paper and pen. The latter are essentials for writing a poem. Both combos will feed you. Both, simple & eloquent.
Funny that memory played such a part in the ongoing scheme of this adventure The merchant never fancied himself a dweller in such realms
But a slip of paper, handmade paper, reminded him of his father and the book he bound in leather so many summers ago
"There into the rainy sidewalk I tried and tried to hold onto you But it was no use. All over the backs of barnyards, from the maps of Piloggio
Even with favors from the University nothing in the real world was prepared for this row of clothespins, aching steadfastly What need have I for epaulets, their stories?"
A curious sense of nostalgia for the tall man mixed with the rain and damp feeling in the air brought the merchant to the brink of tears and he waited, quite moved, for the news.
