Best Avocado Poems

Avocado -  a true story

It’s green
Not Martian
Avocado fell from high
Perhaps the sky
Or margins thereabouts
More exact
A tree or branch released it down
And found my wife
Nearly took her life
Her eye was hit directly
With bump…. then lump
Untold un-pleasantries of course were hers
She did not cry
But made a...

All of the fats are bad
Advocates of health said
Avoid them at all times
Axe down butter and cream
And then they found this fruit
Abound with fat that’s good
Adds cream to my dry food

Our house was built in 'sixty-eight,
     a long bi-level, brick, and white.
A retro queen I was those days,
     and avocado made it right.

The kitchen was my favored place – 
     appliances in "sixties"...

I'm cool, refreshing and I'm green
My lizardlike skin keeps my heart unseen
You can cut me in half
Or mix up my guts-
Spread me around, it does'nt matter that much-
Cuz I'm cool, refreshing and green;
And you love me!...

If an avocado had a voice, he'd say, "eat me, I'm an excellent food choice".
 If an avocado went to war, his uniform would be green, that's for sure.
 If an avocado made a speech from a podium, he would share with his audience that...

Painted on a plaque above the doorway
Reads Mr. and Mrs. darcy come on in
 There’s a red rose in a glass case on a mantle
And a chair right next to him where no one sits
And everything is just the way she left it
Like a perfect...

Avocados are the latest craze right now
Is it marketing or taste that makes us go wow
Wanting to chow down
In tune with the town
But from this day forward my taste buds say ciao...

Chop tomatoes, red pepper
Lime, salt, mix, salad....

Love That Avocado Green!


Our house was built in 'sixty-eight...bi-level, brick and white.
     This was the modern age, and avocado made it bright!
I loved my new appliances in shiny sixties green...
     refrigerator, matching stove, fulfilled the new-age scene.

They...

I am mother goddess warrior
protector of the sacred Nisqually water
and the people of this land
I am native crow

I am also avocado
nice to eat and soft 
soft to my seed and thick skinned
or is it thin? I don't know

all the time I 
shed my skin
feel sweet...

Juan (Johnnie) Avocado Seed
By George W. Clever-----15 September 2020

A migrant boy in California 
His only toys were avocado pits
Making castles at the Rancheria 
In the dust with the pits where he sits
Until told of a boy who traveled the borders 
Planting apple seeds to grow...

that was a rough day
with their aggressive cars
heavy sky of electrical threats
I came back scared from these thorny streets
I need friendly things
through the crack in the window 
I saw the static grandeur
of the avocado tree that reigns quietly near here
he watches indifferently as the days...

Sipping champagne from the hollow 
      of an avocado, on a cactus-lined
         boulevard in St. Looie

   While munching on anchovies
      slathered with salsa, the nerve

Now an avocado 
Is more precious than 
An apple
But not in the childhood days
We knew only an apple
The first English word we learnt
The first picture we drew
The fruit mum used to pray to her god
The fruit she handed to us 
After worshipping for 15 days
We...

You wouldn’t know he was A Good Drummer,
Until surfaced the Period of Summer;
You wouldn’t know: Giver of lion’s fight,
Until he felt challenges getting tight;
You wouldn’t know: loved Avocado Pear,
Until you grabbed his and this wouldn’t bear...

You wouldn’t know: could stay outside till mid-night,
Until there was...
