Evelyn Judy Buehler Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Glisten

Juicy, ripe cherries, still on the jade green trees,
In vibrant, orange sunshine, glinting at summer.
Blackberries winking, saffron noon hour of ease,
When rose strewn seconds, seem lost in slumber.

Fragrant, purple plums gleam hotly, very coveted,
Lustrous, wild raspberries, deeply red and purple,
Ruby red apples aglow, like fiery sun plummeted,
Until all are lost in darkness, 'neath stars eternal.

Gershon Wolf March 20, 2023 at 7:19 PM Amazing, and even a tad eerie that all those vibrant colors are sitting there in the dark all night. It's interesting to think about; don't know quite what to make of it. Thanks for providing the 'food' for thought, Evelyn! Evelyn Judy Buehler March 20, 2023 at 7:28 PM Unfortunately, like fruits, even the sun gets tired of shining. :D Thank you so much for your comment.
