Grapefruit

This poem was a creative writing exercise that I did while sitting outside in the sun today.

 So big plump and round

 Dimples all around

 Sweet and tangy

 Sections big and bold

 Take a bite

 It squirts like a watergun

 Break the skin

 Peel so citrusy

 The smell brings forth 

 Strong fragrant scent

 Peeling back the skin

 Revealing the juicy meat within

 Taking that bite so suculent and tart

 With every bite

 I wish for the tropic air

 The color of salmon

 If too ripe 

 You could squeeze and squash it

 Through your hand

I could almost taste the grapefruit as I read your words! You touch on all the senses with your imagery. Very well written. Lydi**

Thank you! I was actually sitting outside eating it while I was writing!
