An Ode to the Great Rouge Vif D'Etampes:
May the Harvest Last!
Today- is an ode-
to the gorgeous Rouge Vif D'Etampes
which Inspired
simply by the sight
of her image on a seed packet-
so curly, plump and sweet.
Rouge!
Vif!
D'Etampes!
The pumpkin of a witch-
with those magical vines making ornate the whole garden plot.
Oh rosey, rosey, rosey-
I plan to save your seeds
and savor your children for many generations.
You enchant as you age cooly and calmly.
Thank you for your grace,
thanks for hanging around-
I wish you greatly good-bye and
soup's up!
