Told to write a fruit poem in 2 parts – I did 2 lines in Cockney.

Fruit Fool

Apples and pears rolled down the stairs.
Bananas screamed with laughter.

Day 24 ~ Gooseberry
Neglected little fruit
I can rarely find
Green, you are so sharp and smart,
Ripened, you are sunlight
With hidden sweet, a pleasure.
The shy girl at the dance;
Sharp words can stop a suitor
But when once won she is the sun
Warm and worth the waiting.
It takes time to know her measure.
A Sad Season
Spring was full of promise,
Summer bloomed forth and shone,
But, with the coming of Autumn,
The blossom I thought would bare fruit,
was the last to be stripped away.
I wonder what Winter will bring
The Dreaming Path
