Invitation to Write: A Favorite Place (UCI Writing Project - quick write)

There she sits.  

I pass her everyday 
  and when I do I smile nostalgically.  
Her earthy scent and mysterious wares 
  entice me to investigate. 
 
Will I be tempted by the bag of lady-bugs?  

Will I try breaking my heart with another tomato seedling?  

Or... 
  shall I merely peruse her aisles of BBQ accessories?  

Will I feed my prism starved eyes 
  with millions of multi-colored glass garden globes? 
 
No.  
I pass her by.  
She is a temptress.  

I whisper, "Ace is the place."
