It shares a magnificent and often unexpected color when sliced into. Did she mean when read?

almonds
sliced avocado are permissible
& it goes without saying, olive oil
an accompaniment for grilled chicken or grilled shrimp
or as a bruschetta topping

Unfamiliar herbs. What does an unfamiliar herb share in common with a poem you're reading for the first time?
Encountering the unfamiliar by root, stem, leaf or smell. How to use said herb. How to read said poem? This I know for sure, both are essential ingredients and the finding is the journey. The plate, the page where the journey begins & ends.
Dahlias. Who said, "Dahlias are the showy heart of a poem?"
I did at 10:58 AM today.
White ones in a crystal vase. The candle nearly spent. And later a clear glass bowl filled with fresh sliced peaches, queso fresco, small grape tomatoes, fresh basil, olive oil, pepper, almonds, and black olives. Perhaps, diced avocado, as well.

Heirloom tomatoes. How does a poem inspire heirloom tomatoes?
Its physical appearance is taken in and you know something special about tomato & poem. The physicality is a language both heirloom (as in tomato) and poem speak. Although their dialects might differ.
Also, both are fond of fresh basil.

Purslane. What do purslane and the poem you wrote this morning have in common?
Both are green. Both contain a ton of Omega-3.
Don't believe me? Get out the saute pan. Olive oil, garlic, chopped onions. Saute then add purslane and fresh tomatoes.
Now, where's that fountain pen?

Black abada dates. How are Bad similar to haiku?
You know it's a date but it surprises. And the seasonal reference is imbedded as is the pit.
Where's the pit in a poem? Punctuation, perhaps. Perhaps not.
How to eat black abada dates?
simply, with no adornment
or with white or yellow cheeses -- feta or Irish cheddar, in particular
or with small grape tomatoes & fresh basil & walnuts & cheese
as many ways as the implements to write a poem

Squash. Are poems as varied & seasonal as squash?
Yes, various colors, shapes, and taste. Yet, highly recognizable sometimes with a crooked neck. Sometimes more like a crisp cucumber, but appearances deceive. One other comparison is worth noting. Squash can be eaten raw, steamed, sauteed, grilled, roasted, or a combination, thereof. Poems can be tasted as many ways.
Squash plays especially well with garlic, onions, tomatoes and host of herbs. Goat cheese, of course.
Although it is a poetic fact that squash do not generates as many poems about as do tomatoes, peaches, figs. Or lemons for that matter. When as the last time you read a bowl about a bowl of squash?
