Ode to Onions

Written for the onions.

Star of the garden,

A crystalline appearance:

Shining in the earth.

·

Glossy crystal scales,

Polished platinum goblet:

An edible bulb.

·

Round bowl of water,

A flask of white flaky skin:

Bitter to the taste.

·

A heavenly globe,

Underground constellation:

Garden of onions.

Bravo!
I am loving your string haiku. You did a good job describing with flavor. Also the subject makes me smile. Onions are such complex bulbs/fruit/vegetables. My blog and also my journal is entitled, "My Onion Life." I also have a favorite piece I wrote by the same name. I have to favor this piece. Thanks for sharing it.
