where I sit to ponder life
as drops of juice fall....

If I could grow a lemon tree
I would plant one in my yard
Every  day I would water it
So the lemons would grow...

Her sense of whimsy made us smile.
Hanging by feet on a lemon tree.
Pondering the Egyptian Nile.
She has outgrown our small town you see....

Hubig's Pies are very pretty
And the lemon pie is sweet
So remember the old ditty
That you are just what you eat!

the bright
yellow lemon tree
her 
cheeks blushing
almost cherry red
expressing pure beauty
when 
she
turns her
full body figure 
towards 
the
Orange light...

The lemon tree is very pretty with a sweet flower.
However, it has an inedible fruit that is very sour.
The juice needs a lot of sugar to make it sweet.
The unadulterated pulp is something we cannot eat.

drops of river or ice patches;
all of this without your notice
            but tough and half eternal

the lemon tree grows
            cool and silent;
            this makes you remain.

(for Klara Grünzweig 1957-2016)...

Butterflies on our lemon tree, 
Flirting with its leaves, flitting free, 
Brushing it here, kissing it there, 
What a cute romantic affair! 
A "kaleidoscope" I foresee!

She held me for minutes;
With both of her arms and hands;
Felt like a loving life-time;
My dear caress

She squeezed me like a lemon tree;
She was beyond me;
Seemed like an eternity;
My dear caress

is it LOVE or just a Christian hug?
God knows!
My dear caress

I don’t need an Oven here
My Coffee never Cools down.
I tried raisin’ a Lemon Tree
but it just Sank in the Sand.

Suppose if comes an Apocalypse
I would Survive nevertheless,
And if I go to Hell someday
I guess it Feels just like Home.

I like Rains and Oceans
but I was born in a Desert.
I dream of Swimming like a Fish
and dying in a dried up Pond....

*lemon tree filled*
*with colorful melody*
*blubbering    hearts*
*and lumbering   luminosity*
*it’s countenance cheering upward*
*ferocious in it joyful cacophony*
*spreading wide its branches*
*buffet of pluming propensity*
*bullish in its  bittersweet*
*its red and yellow sweets*
*swathed     resurrection*
*Summer-squeeze of fruity leaves*

I check my little lemon tree every day with delight,
The new baby lemons are just growing out of sight.
The lemon tree lives on my patio and loves the sun,
And picking those giant lemons is such fun!

The last one picked was like a grapefruit, huge in size,
And the wonderful taste it did not compromise.
The luscious lemon went on facebook for my friends eyes,
Then it had a date with a pie, and met its demise....

Peculiar things

It has been raining so much that the lemon tree
is taller than a building of flats where we live.
A neighbour who was hit by one of its fruits
 is still uncommunicative.

A flat battery in a jaguar is a sight to behold
when sitting in a bough of a tree.

The aroma of lemon juice wafts through the building
the restaurant in the basement sells fried fish
Quite fitting since it is Friday,
I like eating pork chops while driving a porch....

Would Thou Give a Gift so Fine,
 
                        Not the Grape nor even Wine

                        But that which makes them Join. 

                        Not Rare the Coin,

                        Or Gold from Which Tis Made; 

                        Nor Lemon Tree, or Seed, or Lemonade.

                        But that Which Binds Them Each to Each, 

                        The Power of knowledge,

                        The Wisdom to Teach....
