Who grew so enormously fat

And rolled on his belly
And was given a plum roasted rat...

Moon sparks float above the
meadow of golden blooms,
mimicking marmalade
mists of healing, and the

Little butterfly, 
Please take me along with you, 
Let me kiss the wide welkin.

Crawl up, tickling me, 
Dip and brush my pale fingers, 
In your marmalade palette.

Mango, a magic fruit
Most delicious in taste
My all-time favorite.
Meaty yellow when ripe
Makes yummy marmalade.
Melting smooth in our mouth
Mesmerizes fruit fans...

with

waiting on the pride
to catch his next meal

Marm got even, swung the sickle
These days, Pop’s a bit less fickle
Stares at Marma’s jar of pickles

As harvest season offers vibrant hues, and cold that makes you cringe
And wild, bitter orange sunsets, are caught between plummy days...

    her colors smacked of segregation...

      airbrushed in Renoir orange

welcomes first autumn

      through glide of marmalade leaves

          ...cuddling Sabbath’s peace

Melts sweetly on the tongue, 
Most relished in summer, 
Many varieties, 
Marmalade, jam, pickle, 
Makes my mouth water - yum!
