love long ago departed; like persimmon buds; now, just spring flowers ever parted in afterglow of young lust. Where pink flowers did carouse soft, ripe red fruit heavy hangs on cold winters empty boughs; and so induce hunger pangs, for sweet flesh yet untasted....

Ode To a Persimmon
Ode to a Persimmon Ahhh! Ripe, juicy, pulpy persimmon… plump berry, mini orange sun. Syrupy sweet delicious delight dangling golden in day’s bright light, on blue-green leafy branch up high, glossy under a summer sky. Fleshy ambrosial enchantress, nectar of Pomona, fruit goddess.

Premium Member The Persimmon Tree
The Persimmon Tree This time of year my feet often turn toward an old home down the way that now stands empty. In the back yard there is a weathered persimmon tree seemingly standing guard over the remnants of the garden.
