Sugarsnap

We're two peas in a pod,
You and I.
Your well-rounded firmament
Slides along my ecliptic seed,
As we slip through the elongated housing
Of our two-valved vessel.
Your tendrilous vines twine
Around my trembling trellis.
My fibrous sheathing gleams
In the early morning dew
Of your succulent sweetness.
The recipe book says:
"They are sweet, crisp, and versatile.
Can be eaten whole and raw,
or gently steamed and lightly turned.
Mange tout!
