Sara Kendrick Poet Haiku

Notes About The Poem

The old Barlett Pear Trees have been loaded this year..Their fruit plentiful..I am no longer able to perserve them as I once did...

Ancient Barlett Pear

.
                                                Ancient Barlett Pear
                                    Orange leaves dance reflect light...
                                           Lone pear splats 'on earth

Jack Horne November 10, 2011 at 11:12 AM I can visualise this perfectly - the little apples on our trees are all over the ground now too, and covered in funny spots.

Carolyn Devonshire November 10, 2011 at 10:55 AM The pear trees can live a long time if they are pruned each winter to allow for new growth. The last line is so sad, Sara. What a shame these wonderful fruit trees can't produce year-round. Enjoyed your haiku! Love, Carolyn
