Enter a sweet savoury perfume!
you slice through its smooth and waxy surfaces
abundances of fruit and legume
count the pinkness of its lush and inner meat
on horizons planted petals bloom
slices done neatly for garden dishes to beat
another piece for me, you assume.
the smiles that awaken for a festive treat
savour the sweet, there is not much room.

Quite unique and creative, Martin. I never thought of fruit and legumes in poetic terms before. It works well. Cheryl

I did have a piece on Watermelon and Issues
back on Moontown, that brings up the idea of a tasty poem now and then.
