Poem
September has come and the ripe orchards abundantly display their delicious fruits: peaches of delicate rose, and cherries of deep red! Teens, with their empty baskets, anxiously run to pull them off the drooping branches; and one of them yells, " I have gotten the first one! " What a gleeful celebration for youngsters about to return to loved-and-hated school with their band-new and heavy backpacks; and they will write about these harvest's moments, and wait with exciting eyes how their writings will be scored by their teacher, and if someone should cheat, points will be taken away...so kids, squash your curiosity and kindly behave! All of them did their best in writing poems without rhyme, poems of a harvest with an aroma so fine! The hot afternoon reddens the faces of all the experienced fruit-pickers, and these struggling young ones can't speed up to their pace! " Hurry, Jack...let Susan help you with your over-loaded basket... everyone has finished picking and gone! " What a humorous remark that even makes the sullen and tired sun smile...when his duty is coming to a sudden end! Happily they trot out of the orchards, singing nursery' rhymes, sustaining the heaviest load they have ever felt , not to let their baskets drop and give the watchful squirrels a chance to snatch some of the tempting fruits away! And as they look up, dusk makes its appearance to scare them away! And as if they were chased by unleashed dogs, some fall, some run for their lives...an useless drama started by fancy! Much fun they had, but unhappy about the bruises on their knees, at least, they had one consolation: all the peaches and cherries they could eat! And they laughed at each other, no one could ever forget about their fright! Copyright 2009 by Andrew Crisci
