Six Shades of Red

“Home grown tomatoes, home grown tomatoes
What would life be like without homegrown tomatoes
Only two things that money can’t buy
That’s true love and home grown tomatoes.” ~ John Denver





Six Shades of Red

My small sweet bite tomatoes
Progressively ripen through six stages

  • Green – the little fruit is completely green
  • Breakers – a slightly tarnished yellow
  • Turning – between orangy yellow and pink
  • Pink – like a teenager … still some growing up to do
  • Light Red – almost dressed and ready to go out
  • Red – bright cherry red and delightfully delicious

G'day, and welcome to my blog site. My name is Ivor Steven, I live in Geelong, Australia. I'm an ex-industrial chemist, and a retired plumber, and a former Carer of my wife(Carole), for 30 years, who suffered from severe MS. I Write poetry about those personal thoughts, throughout and beyond my life as a Carer. I've been blogging for over 2 years, and writing poems for 19 years. Of course a lot of my poems are about my favourite subject Carole, but since I've been blogging my writings have become quite varied, humourous, mystical, observational, and even a few monster/horror poems.

      1. We all need a place of relaxation, don’t we? For me, it’s my sunroom where the large windows make me feel like I’m outside while I’m surrounded by my many houseplants. 🪴 Thank you, dear Ivor; I slept very well indeed. 🥰
