Laughing Tomatoes

As spring unfolds its vibrant quilt,
Where sunlight bathes the earth, rebuilt,
A garden thrives, with life aglow,
Home to the joyous tomatoes that show.

Beneath a sky so vast and blue,
They dance in morning's dew,
Red cheeks shining bright and bold,
In the springtime's gentle hold.

Whispers of green vines entwine,
As laughter blends with clime,
Each tomato, plump and round,
Bursts with joy that knows no bound.

With every giggle, sway, and spin,
They welcome the warmth within,
A jubilant chorus beneath the sun,
Celebrating life, one by one.

So, here in this verdant plot,
Joy is ripe, and sorrow's not,
For in the heart of spring's soft dome,
Laughing tomatoes find their home.
