Michelle Faulkner Poet Free verse

Fruitful Summer

Lemonade soaked sunshine
Peach sweet heat
Watermelon waves taste
Of graham cracker sand
And nestled pomegranate pebbles
On strawberry beaches

In pineapple green grass
Mango daisies dance
Marshmallow clouds dot
Blueberry-smiled skies

Tangerine sorbet sunset
Kisses plum freckled stars
Sprinkled through blackberry night
Under the cooling cantaloupe moon

Until blushing raspberry currents
Awake the honeydew dawn.
