Constance La France Poet Acrostic

Notes About The Poem

Organic Fruits - Orchard Fantasy Contest

On a hike one day, I came upon a wild orchard,
ripe with lush fruit and I thought it was a mirage;
green apples, oranges, peaches and pears,
all grew in this fantastic place;
nectarines, plums, cherries and blueberries,
invited me to  l i n g e r  for awhile;
calmness settled all around . . . 

Fertilized by nature and unrestrained, 
ripe and  d r i p p  i n g  with sweetness;
utopia was mine as I gathered,
it would be a shame not to taste the fruit;
till I was full I ate the sweetness,
strange, I fell asleep- awoke and it was gone.
