Truly Fruitful Indeed

Sitting on the living room table
one large bowl of colourful fruit
it pictures one of a little seed
that grows up from their original root

To full fruition, they clearly come
various sizes like many a human
shows we never know one's full end
like mankind, one needs good grooming

Strawberries and raspberries I really love
so juicy and succulent to fully taste
love them as jam on a sandwich
pick them from July be sure no waste

Other fruits I like is plums and pears
both distinctly different to your tongue
but appealing the next time at a fruit stall
picking them from trees where they're strong

Everybody's favorites are always known
apples and oranges get picked every time
the orange is so juicy in your mouth
apples so crunchy, get them in their prime

Thanks Jenny, Good to know you're a lover of fruit and I think I may have had mulberries when we were on holiday in SA, something rings a bell about going to a fruit market near Mossel Bay. Hope all is well with you this day, take care and God bless, Gordon

Wonderful gift from the heavens ...fruit in all shapes and sizes. Delicious read Gordon. Fresh from the garden or tree or vine the best! Warm wishes, Susan :)

Thanks Tom, Indeed fresh fruit is really good, at present, it seems difficult to get really nice fruit especially pears and nectarines as I've found them so hard to bite into. Hope you have a lovely weekend, Gordon
