Notes About The Poem

Banana vs Orange

Written: February 23, 2024

                          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In a grove, a feud grew, no doubt,
Fruit factions were ready to shout.
Banana sought peace,
But his pleas soon would cease,
As the orange kept stirring the route.

With a temper as fiery as flame,
Orange sought to bear Banana shame.
He shouted and yelled,
While Banana rebelled,
Trying to douse the feud's flame.

But Orange was relentless and mean,
His anger turned downright obscene.
He challenged Banana,
With no sign of mana,
Creating a chaotic scene.

Banana, in a last-ditch effort, pled,
"Let's put this feud to rest," he said.
But Orange just jeered,
And sneered as he neared,
Determined to jam Banana with dread.

Miranda Hawley February 23, 2024 at 8:25 PM I wanted a happier ending than that, or at least an ending that doesn't start the last line with determined. I mean who won, the orange or the banana? Was the determination enough? Did the determination make the brawl end? Did they kill each other? Did they become friends? Did they wind up on some humans toast? My inquiring mind want to know.
