Little Tomato
Little tomato,
you’re all but a sprout.
Little tomato, so brave and strong.
Little tomato,
you made your mark.
Little tomato, you hope you can one day
be a big tomato.
Little tomato,
with your head an inch ‘bove the soil.
They all said you’d
never sprout.
But little tomato,
you sprouted tall.
You’ll one day be big
and strong.
About this poem
This poem is about a tomato plant in my garden that did not sprout at first while its fellows grew. A month later, it was the tallest of all of them. This inspired me to write a poem about it.
