Errant Tomato

Appears in defiance,
Unplanted,
Unplanned,
Tiny husk of promise
Dropped
In winged flight
Or carried
On flowing current.

Lightly bathed
In mere slivers of sun,
Sheltered from heat,
Tender eruption
Of green.

Flourishing
Unexpected,
Unanticipated,
Amused,
Admired
Incredulous,
Wondered,
Awed.

Riotous growth
Offering
Small bells
Fruited yellow,
Laughing.

(Photo taken Sept. 19, 2009 of the actual tomato plant that appeared from nowhere but decided it liked where it landed on the side of my garage. It's one plant/jungle measuring approximately seven by three feet.)
