Short Guava Poems

Filled with the luscious guava 
The puffed pastry dough
Indulge the taste buds craving
With the sweet flavor
And ambrosial smell
Filling the 
Air

It's Thanksgiving, so stop hugging your poodle
And come here to Maui for Aunt Ida's guava strudel
Flower wreaths she has made
So of course, you'll get leid
Then go home to write your tropical footle

The green bodied soul 
of a majestic Bahama Parrot
soaring in the airspace 
like a shooting star
nesting among the Abaconian pines
feasting on a fresh platter 
of wild guava and pigeon berries
for a lifetime !...

munching with my mate
   buxom burgundy berries
   autumn pigeon date



( I have a red guava tree which the wood pigeons love, eating 30 berries in one go - just swallow after swallow. Usually leave all fruit for them.)...

Limerick : Once our Senorita from Sevilla – 8

Once our Senorita from Sevilla
Climbed ladder to pluck tree guava
Gathered under a crowd
Gaping under her shroud
So she squeezed juice to stop saliva.

At stark midday

           The guava tree's swishing leaves
   
Rustles my sleep


-----------------------------
- So I opened my soup and read a few poetry. It eased my mind back into warmth. And now 
I'm tired again, and more equipped to take on mid day dreams.

Salute to everyone here.... I'm glad to have found this amazing site!...

This morning too 
clouds are dominant 
water drops on
window glass 

On the lake-bank 
sits a grey kite
eyeing for the 
fish to jump 

There on road
a basket on head
filled with guava 
of a young boy 

Eighty rupees a kg 
he might sell it
in the raindrops 
a pink face 

The sari is still wet
what would wear she
does the rain know 
Jamuna is sullen...

Bagels and baguettes
Bap or fried bake,
The fruits of the flour
are easy to make

Chollah, chapatti, 
Cinnamon bun.
These global delights,
make eating such fun.

Filled with Caribbean sweet meat
like Guava jam,
Scottish smoked salmon; 
Or Danish roast ham.

Add a fresh fruit salad,
Some sparkling wine,
A candle, red roses and  
you’re ready to dine.

FRUITS*** VEGETABLE KINGDOM

Sans absurd the avocado
is a friend of the rough pineapple
who is a friend of lemon acre
that has quality, and art...

Cherry adorns with a lot of beauty
just as the apricot fruit so blissful
and content fig also collaborates
at Christmas and adorns an elegant  table!

The guava knows this and does not care
it has value and equal to an orange it makes jam...!...

A sunny morning is seated pretty 

Luscious mangoes are taking shape there
On the leafy branches birds are tweeting 
Velvety leaves cast shadows over them
Euphoria runs deep in the roots of the trees
Lilacs looking up from beneath
Yellow and red hues hem in the plants

Fields sparkle with mustard flowers
A parrot calls from a guava tree
Clouds suddenly come crowding in
Engulf the painting ecstatically...

I sit gazing at the bruised branches 
Of trees that wall my humble thatch. 
Leaves dead and live laments, 
Tender mango sprouts, 
Like yellow granules of cake dough, 
Lie listening the last drops’ descent. 
Pale hairy roots of young trees, 
A shattered sparrow’s nest, 
The bowing branch full of guava 
Fruits yellow and green, 
Blessed basil leaves with tiny 
Silver pearls clean and pure 
Sets the  morn’s golden glory; 
  
Proclamation of a nocturnal rain....

There’s no way one’s devoted lover
Won’t one’s weaknesses and faults cover;
Tell big fools that one is in clover:
Who nears not maps Driver of Rover
From Tunis to far-away Dover
And would in helicopters hover,
All to The Glory of Jehovah!

There’s some chance your devoted lover
Could suddenly say “it’s over”
If you’d fertilized an Eve’s Ova
Or stolen a blind beggar’s guava;
The last: A sure subject of scandal;
Fears that, soon, you’d snatch a kid’s sandal....

In the midst of my garden, I stand there,
watching the spirited squirrels,
busy in savouring pomegranate flowers

In the midst of my garden, I stand there,
seeing the peppy parrots,
tasting the hard guava fruits

In the midst of my garden, I stand there,
watching the red vented bulbuls,
happily collecting the sun berries.

Amongst the enchanting scent of ixoras
and the mesmerizing songs of robins,
I stand there in the midst of my garden,
with heart full of ecstasy....
