Plum's exotic cousin
Part apricot, all sweet
Puckery zing delight
Permeates pastel June
Pink freckled fair ladies
Pollen dusted with the
Perfume of summer fruit

You and I, we were unalike, embedded into the earth,
so far from each other.
My roots grew independently and strong, as yours,
grew to be smothered.
As time went on our stocks matured and grew,
to extend such a great distance.
Our roads trekked in contrasting directions,
that channeled us to coexistence.
Fate cannot be discouraged nor fought by mortals,
a lesson learned not forgot.
As different as an Apricot is to a Plum,
together we can make a Pluot.
