Notes About The Poem

2nd in a Foodie Pleiades (Sponsor: Andrea Dietrich)

Judged: April 28th, 2025

Papaya

Papaya, passion fruit
Pulp, gorgeous honey-rain
Painted skins of sun gold
Praise your calypso crown
Pungent tropical rhythms
Possess soulless palates
Present for my colon

Thanks, Anne-Lise. If you get a good one, it might be like ambrosia. It's an awesome fruit.
