CATHY ROSS – POET – “PLANTING TOMATOES IN THE RAIN” – A POEM FOR SPRING 2 Comments / ARCHIVES, CONTRIBUTING WRITERS / By Timothy Olson A Pacific Northwest native, I have been writing poetry over 40 years. My poems reflect a woman’s journey through the later years, with recurring themes of loss and renewal. on my kneessoaking wet on the south sideof the house.,I tip themfrom their pots,breathe in the smellof compost with itsdead debris, promisethey will flourishthis year, not turnpale and shed their fruit for lack of sun,tuck them gently in their beds,rain drips fromfeathered leaves,I pinch away the lowest onesbefore I set themin the ground,new roots will growfrom these fresh wounds.
