Grown out on a fine fruit tree
really sweet taste
expectations – nice in a pie or strudel
enveloped in a parcel of filo with raisins and sultanas or
newly pressed in a juice or in a cider

England’s tabloid press – so he can
Serve up iced drinks to the masses on

The humble lemon,
like its siblings the orange and lime
each segment is full of cells just
bursting with juice
as the fruit knife cuts through the peel to the zesty core
each cell in its way bursts – releasing
fresh lemon zest into the air
while drops of lemon fall onto fresh marble

Zingy little fruit,
full of zest and flavor
and powerful punch
perfect , placed in a jelly
sparky flavours contained in
a porcelain mould
Sparks of delight
pop off on the tongue
and your luminosity
Green for go ! your sign
the party power switches
are all turned on

light beams travel cross the water 💦
as bright yellow lemons 🍋
release their wonderful flavour
through the corporation pop
in the tumbler
each drop 💧 releasing
the fresh flavour of summer.
perfect with the blue sky on green grass

Maybe it was love at first sight
As the juice bar music 🎶 played on
A mango entered into a dance 💃
with a fruity little thing
a distant cousin of the orange 🍊
A whirlwind romance
creating something colourful fresh and zesty
in mister baristas mixing machine

Orange 🍊
an acrostic poem by brian f kirkham, for the color your world 🌎 challenge
Overall, you’re a zesty little fruit
Ripened by the warm rays of the morning sun
At the point you’re ready, to come off the tree
Numbers of pickers come along – to protect you from falling
Great at breakfast time in a fruit salad, but just as good
Eaten at lunchtime as a healthy pudding.

Written for National Poetry Month – A Tale of Lemons and Lemonade
If life gives you lemons
make lemonade,
Yellow like sunshine
sharp but – somehow sweet
An acid taste
brought down by sugar
A tale of life embodied
in a single fruit
Grown in a sun drenched orchard
on trees with waxy leaves
You started green – but soon grew
as you lost your pigment blue
and squashed in a press
you gave up your juice
and entering fizz
let your flavours loose
each drop enough
to quench the driest of thirsts
Sign of summer – embodied
in every colourful sun drenched bubble
