Kayod5 Kayode Poet Free verse

Hidden Beauty

The able had plucked all the yellow on top.
They had carted away with all the lemon too;
Left only the  green on the papaya tree.
The lame came and left with the green they met.
On the dinner-table was the last pawpaw shock:
The yellow were icky,the lemon were rotten too;
Only the green were red and crispy in their mouths.
