APPLE BLOSSOMS CAUGHT DREAMY EYES
fairy farm was ablaze with fruity trees
gentle breezes swayed laden branches
canaries sang, cows mooed, all at ease
FIGS, GRAPES, HACKBERRY, IMBE, JACKFRUIT
with Turkish splash pool glimmering awaited
tiny tier temple newly whitewashed invited
brass buddha bell and rose garden gated
KITES LAY MOTIONLESS NOTICEABLY OBVERT
which leisure activity would we choose
as fruity farm holiday commenced covert
like in paradise peacock strutted with goose
PEACH, QUINCE, RASPBERRY, STRAWBERRY TARTS
stole our minds, stomach and hearts
this heavenly place embraced tired souls
stress dissolved in nature’s eloquent role

fulfilling craving plight
festive midst color bright
filled with nutrients delight
fruits along sweet blends aright
flavorful creamy cheesy bite
fun treat toward diet height
finding us thank God* for pleasant sight
feeding well our hearty appetite...
fruity salad of healthy flight
*1Thessalonians 5:18 18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

God did His duty
for eye God did care
by pain felt beyond compare
set free from despair

There was a young man Arcimboldo
who these days all too few do know
Some thought he traded fruit & veg
but he merely illustrated them instead
as this wikilink will quickly show

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

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

down by the peach grove
lush fruit hangs ripe on the tree
fragrance of rose wafts

Feels famished
Fast food frenzy ...
Fix

Fresh fish
Fat French fries
Fabulous feast -
Full!

Fruity
Apples and raisins
Are all grazing
By the flamingo trees
Being chased by honey bees
Are the bears
Who use to care
As they run down the stairs

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

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.
