FRUIT
Prompt - Fruit : Write an ode to your favourite fruit
Oh glorious bundle of globules from the Perthshire fields
Such a unique shade of red gone pink you have given your name
To the colour of our sofa, of the soft silk suit my wife once wore,
And, strangely, to the sound of a ripping fart.
I love how you leave your heart behind when picked
Sliding from your inner cone into my waiting fingers
Giving your life for mine, as if you wished to be a martyr
And serving the purpose of your life
You can be popped straight into the mouth, exploding with flavour
Or taken home to transform yourself into jams and desserts and cakes
Or mixed with your fellow fruit into a glorious bedlam of colour and taste
Where you reign supreme, both sweet and gloriously wersh
Bring on the summer, bring your freshness back, I await your return
For now, as Autumn hints at winter, you have such short shelf life
As not to be what you once were, temptation no longer oozing out
But you will be back again, and soon
