Sara Kendrick Poet Rhyme

Cacao Tree

Blossoms like orchids, waxy white
Waiting for pollen's lore
Producing those bean pods purple
Chocolate treats galore

Green, yellow, red, purple grooved pods
Ebony dark the seeds
Bitter the natural flavor
Desire has acquired a need

Planted 'neath fine cacao tree
In death feast 'pon dark seeds
Bitter the pulp very toxic
Theobromine just feed

David Fisher January 12, 2014 at 8:17 PM Enjoyed your poem and am now intrigued about something that I just take for granted.

Russell Sivey January 12, 2014 at 5:27 PM This is just a brilliant write, you have made me want to see some of these trees, they sound beautiful! I don't know if there were any in Houston, or College Station, when I lived in Texas...I could have see some of these wonderfully sounding trees! I really enjoyed reading this descriptive poem here this evening! What a fantastic piece, Great Work!!

Jack Horne January 12, 2014 at 3:50 PM lovely descriptions, my friend. Do you have one in your garden? I've seen one in a place here called the Eden Project. Congrats on your wins too

Andrea Dietrich January 12, 2014 at 12:14 PM Sara, do you have cacao trees there? I was thinking it was only in Mexico and South america, but this sounds like you are very familiar with them!
