Sugared Pear Semi Ghazal

I can take one pumpkin-spiced cup with a pear –
With a pink lipstick visage, my heartrate resides with this gay pear.
 
Excellent exhalations process a plan that has gone…pear is not a bad shape!
Squareness sucks in each day’s pear.
 
Anglia Pear, I hope you are apeare that pear is a pearticular charm to in-your-face industrial archipearcture.
You may be pearpetrating the pearposless rule to not scran grey pear.
 
Until the moon is a golden peartal près
To an island of oak & hazel May pears,
 
Pearple always will. No-one is naturally scented with cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger & cloves.
What sort would be best to dress a pear?
 
Dull mugwort – a pearennial plant native to Europe’s air,
Asia’s & Africa’s as well!
It grows now in North Apearica, too.
 
The first of seeds to have earth
Are frizzled over par l’eau pear.
 
Oh pear, it seems like a second since – as we watched The ApPEARtice last Friday - you asked me to go prepear
A painting to be exhibited at The Art of Bowls.
 
My pearpose has been bathing with you know the pear –
Profound pearsions are pulled without a trigger.
Yet humankind pins them perpeartully to product tally charts.
 
Pearhaps now it’s enough simply to remember pear pear,
Rather than shoving Terry straight in some digger.
Whether clean or not, I would pearfer pumpkin spice to that
Chai!

I'm glad you found it creative and engaging! Reading it back, I am not sure what I meant by certain lines, but the general feel is definitely still pear. And aye!
