The oranges
on my citrus tree
are big and round,
bright and shiny.
I cut one open,
it tastes delicious.
I wish you were here
to try it with us.
It does seem strange to me that as much of the US braces for a winter of snow, my little orange tree is just coming into its own. We planted this tree two and a half years ago and it is finally bearing fruit. Today's poetry challenge is to write a poem about your favorite fruit (or vegetable).
Joy,
ReplyDeleteI grew a few lemons for a short while. Thanks for sharing your experience with us and for even being willing to share your fruit!
What a lovely metaphor, Linda. Yes, my poems are my fruit. They are also my children.
DeleteDear Joy,
ReplyDeleteHow cool is that? I love it. Enjoy the wonderful flavor of your oranges and the smell of them, too.
Love, Joan
