A Haiku to Asparagus…edit
Edit: My son the poet and accomplished writer informs me that the first line was short a syllable. I therefore have amended my haiku.
Green spikes pushing forth
without fear in cold. Taste of
hope in hot butter.

I love this. There is nothing more spring than the first push of asparagus : ) I am a few months out for that. heh.
@anvilsandedelweiss - So are we but it was on sale at the grocery last week. I just finished the last of it for lunch today. It is my favorite vegetable of all time.
I know what I want with my steak now.
My sister and some colleagues at a publishing house once decided to drive their boss crazy by dropping references to asparagus into every single conversation with her. This also grew into a vast collection of asparagus cartoons. I wish I had them.
Those winter vegetables really impress me.
@perelandra30 - : )
@Roadkill_Spatula - I could do that. The asparagus characters are my favs in the Veggie Tails.
