Best Fruity Poems
Bananas
Here come the sailors of the Seventh Fleet
With their bananas ripe, ready to eat
The ladies, they like them firm
Musty one’s make them squirm
Why can’t liberty always be so sweet!
Limes
They’re green and round not yellow and curvy
Bruised or mushed never—topsy turvy!
Peeled back skin often slimy
Best citrus fresh and limey
Sailor lime-juicer’s sucked to cure scurvy

Tutti fruity, tutti fruity,
I just made a creamy smoothie,
Full of fruit of all kind,
What a way to just unwind,
My fruit smoothie is a beauty.

FRUITY VOICE
Her voice reminds me of laughter barely suppressed
An energetic spirit tugging constantly at the rope
A caterpillar turning to butterfly at any moment
Her voice sounds like lifegiving fruit
Not serious, self-important fruit like geometrically precise pineapples
Or pompous, overfed watermelons
Too heavy to lift
Not business fruit like apples, on duty keeping doctors away
Or bananas waiting to do their slippery work under feet
Or blackberries, whose careers lie in jam
But mischievous fruit like grapes or cherries
Which roll away like playful children when you’re not looking
Or fallen raisins on the carpet pretending to be part of the pattern
Fun-loving fruit like mandarin oranges around the Christmas tree
Basking under the Christmas lights, enjoying the glitter
Of tinsel and the smell of pine needles
Small fruits which enjoy life,
Laughing as they jostle each other in their bag,
And which could easily become bubbly wine if tempted.
Her ripened voice -
The spontaneous fruit of a lifetime
Of growth and maturing, and regeneration :
Aliment for my soul’s ailment.

Personification
I got on a jet,
and flew to L.A.
Only to find.
I'd have a bad day.
My monitor was cracked.
My laptop a mess.
That's when I decided.
To pull off my dress.
Now I was naked.
With no underwear.
All I could do.
While the boss gave a stare.
That's when I decided.
To quit my day job.
I was no teacher's pet.
On the tootie fruity internet..

============================================================
Blind...with the beauty and symmetry of nature
Can't espy the astonishing and sedate scenes of ardour
Just living with the greatest and blindest darkness
Imageless and almost senseless...
Deaf...with the mellifluous and profound music of amity
Can't harken the serene and blithe tune of natural creativity
Just living with my own nothingness
Dumb and almost senseless...
Mute...can't explode feelings and heartstrings through words and expositions
Can't speak and expound my real emotions
Can't shout out loud, just living with silence - soundless
Dumb and almost senseless...
Paralyzed...can't accomplish what was desired to achieve
Can't act, can’t execute, can’t move - there's no relieve
Just living with myself, occupied by loneliness
Cripple and now USELESS
Balked, feeble, depraved, weak - a YOUNG LOSER
Living with the lies through one's teeth? Will never be ...
And will never SURRENDER
Still BREATHING
BELIEVING...
KNEELING...
PRAYING...
~~~Armed to the TEETH with Faith and Devotion~~~

Guess you and I can finally meet
After sending me tweet after tweet
I am in love with yellow
Cover me in fun jell-o
My wonderful ripe banana treat

My apple contained half a worm
This really made my tummy churn
I’d devoured one half
It sure made me barf
In future an apple I’ll spurn

Newspapers and TV are on the way out
As a source for the latest news
Fruity-type gadgets have taken over
We've lost the ability to choose
These gadgets are called Gooseberrys
No wait, that sounds a bit obtuse
Now I remember, they're Blackberrys
Sounds like something farmers produce
Can't keep up with the latest vernacular
Why not call 'em phones, whatcha think?
Or handheld communication devices
You're driving us seniors to drink
Remember back in the good old days
People talked face to face with each other
Usually spoke in total complete sentences
Knew the names of your sister and brother
This old world has become so complicated
Once was fun to carry on a conversation
We'd discuss all the latest gossip in town
Without technological aggravation
Now we talk with folks worlds away
As if they live just down the block
Sure miss that face to face communication
With Blackberrys, our jaws are locked

You see I was mad for one day,
But I had such a wonderful time.
Banana peels for hair, curled in a fancy way,
Grape stains in me face for freckles weren’t a crime.
Now for effect, I’ll stick a couple of plums
On me eyes with slits so I can see through.
I’ll pop a mandarin on me mouth so I look rum
And two nuts in me nostrils, a nice brown hue.
I’m ready for a walk in town
In me new gear, oh and the stares.
Oh, the glare of them sane folks at me crown.
I thought I was the star of the show, but I was only a mad dare.
So what when they locked me in the asylum,
I had a good laugh at them snobs
For I was the king of my mad world in ecstatic delirium.
None of em can rob me of that with their goofy, gaping gobs.
They’re bloody lucky I wasn’t rude and carnal
Cos I could’ve pasted the banana peels on my cock,
Danced in the streets, naked with a mandarin on me naval.
I could’ve even stuck the nuts up my ass as I rock.
To hell with it, perhaps I’ll do that another day.
I’ll just serve me 30 days in prison.
Judge didn’t understand me but then he didn’t know how to play,
Play with life and be silly---have a good laugh for no reason.
That’s the way of breakin the wall through insanity,
In a world that’s so correct and sane.
A rigid wall that stops creativity,
Bars being silly and happy, their bane,
NOT
MINE
BUDDY!

THE TROIKA (Haiku with hooves) Contest
Three lines of galloping poetic thought
similar to the Haiku as it will maintain the 5-7-5 syllable count
different in that it no juxtaposition is needed

this lusty breakfast I have for you
is creamier than my man’s smooch chew
bowls of gooey Fruit Loops
gobbled with nutty scoops...
God, my K-mart cereal hunt is due!

pears pumpkins peaches inflamed
clothed in silky skin mauve
skin dipped in moist marinade
tables squirting wine
sliced, baked, osterized
mouths water
wow!

Sun kissed apple cheeks,
Honey streaked golden hair.
Strawberry lips against creamy skin,
Under sparkling cerulean candies.
My three daughters,
Sweet enough to eat.
