Wish the young ones
Grow fast as crab
Sweet as sugar.
Wish the bloom one
Learn experience
Life not wasted.
Wish the matured
Work to fruition
Never complaint.
Wish the old ones
Age to golden
Words beholden.

The smell of cantaloupe is enticing
Yearning to feel it’s smoothly texture
It beckons me to it with an unworldly call
The slippery flesh is on my earthly skin
As I hold the fruit it embraces me,
How sweet! How kind it is!
I sympathize and crave it!
A plant that is living and purring
Communicates to us with undecipherable
Decibels that can be heard from beyond our senses
But, I’m hungry; so hungry!
Tearing apart it’s flesh
It’s now a part of me; broken down to a
Molecular level.

Let not your mind caught in cage of time
And feast on things that do not rhyme
Plant now your seeds, go wait and see
Fame cherishes a fruitful tree
For life is short, waste not its worth
Go make your mark, go on, go forth

In our city at night,
One can see glowing lights,
And many busy vehicles,
Slowly moving through the streets.
Delicious barbecues for dinner,
The sizzling sounds are such a winner,
The aroma of meat makes us hungry,
And we crave it all, tender and yummy.
In our city, you can wander,
And find sights that make you ponder,
The streets are safe and secure,
With the presence of authorities, for sure.
Nestled in the heart of Mindanao,
A city where bounty never stops to flow,
From durian, pomelo, to mango,
A foodie paradise, it's hard to let go.
Kidapawan is the name,
A city of fruits that has earned its fame,
Known for its tropical treats,
Where the flavors of sweet fruits can't be beat.
Kidapawan is a gem of a city,
With natural wonders and culture aplenty,
A destination worth your time and stay,
Come and experience Kidapawan today!

in strawberry dawn
yellow roses tinged with gold
midst trembling green leaves
blueberry skies and
afternoon's raven shadows
seagulls glide gilt bay
mulberry evening
as scarlet butterflies leave
with stars as their guide
blackberry midnight
phantoms dance in lilac dreams
like breeze in the trees

Watermelon wheels circle round and round,
thump, thump, thumping, on bumpy ground.
The pits sparkle, as they spin and whirl,
and juicy pink flesh, flashes and twirls;
the treads of its rind, striped green,
a watermelon bike, a fruitful machine.

I wanna have my soul's say
But life is full of

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

We go there to pick
strawberries, grapes, and mangoes
in the summertime.

I love my little corner of the yard
when nearby Lilac Bush perfumes the air.
The human dwellers treat me with regard.
They sit behind their house and simply stare.
They gaze on me while I am in the pink
and blooms on me are streaked with white and rose.
They sometimes deeply breathe my scent; I think
they like me best when I’m in fancy clothes.
In time, their small ones stay around all day
and swing from ropes strung from my strongest arm.
I’m glad to serve my young friends in their play.
But later, I bring forth my greatest charm.
My ovaries expand and overlap. . . . .
My luscious fruit gets plucked, and then I nap!

“ANOTHER FRUITFUL DAY”
Mark’s poem, “Together”, deals with death,
And he’s remembering the day, “Carol said, she’d “Be his wife”, and each day they
”Rise in preparation for another fruitful day”, when the
Kingdom of God, yes, “Will come some future day”, ushering in “Eternal Life”, they’re in the
Threshold of the winter of their lives”, Mark said, “We’re together dear” and
On and on, “Live to love another day”, there. Is
“No way to know” when one “must go” so daily for,
Eternal life in God’s Kingdom, pray.
Yes, they look forward to, another and, “Another fruitful day”!

True Loves Fruitful Harvest.
.
True love
Is like a invigorating cleansing stream
That flows unhindered from one fountain of the heart
To another’s kindred receptive heart
Merging and blending in vibrant colourful swirls
Helped to flow by angels guided wings
To the rhythm of a soft lullaby
As the flighty bluebirds take to unblemished
Sun blessed summer skies
And begin to joyfully sing
,
Drawing an abundance of sacred treasures
From each other wanton needy soul
Warming each others tender caring hearts
With a reassuring pleasant
Effervescent golden glow
.
Shared gilded dreams transpire
From special seeds planted in firm fertile ground
Nourished and propagated by the tears of joy
And glorious sunshine of their eternal love
That bare fruit and harvested
And abundantly abound.
