Macadamia Determinism

'If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door' Milton Berle Outstretched clever Macadamia tree Bears talents of both Mama and Papa Fruit materialised due to insect interlopers Dangled able honey hundred raceme Languished beneath its branched limbs Belonging to this land and each other Our dream developed entity envelopes Steadily relishing everything which comes Impediments proffered excuses to resist To remain staid, refrain from addendum Instead choosing skyline over stagnation Sacrifices made to subsume wider merits Beholding splendour of shade waved bracts Combined courage brought bountiful outcome Prospect extends with each Summer harvest Macadamia Mama Papa caretaker provides Canopy which oversees posterity of centuries Husk crack reveals creamiest tongue rolled gems 18th October 2020 Written for Contest : Quotable Sponsor : Regina McIntosh
