Apples, Oranges

Some say all fruit is the same

They’re wrong, all of them


A crunchy apple

Juicy, bursting with sweetness

Truly life-changing


Plump grapes are the best;

Mushy ones ruin my whole day.

Small grenade of joy


Oranges are worth it

Pith and zesty peel conceal

The treat locked inside


Saccharine or tart

That is the mystery of

The blackberry’s taste


Able tomato

Always cooked into dishes

Never enjoyed raw


Honeydew melon.

Inedible cantaloupe

Is incomparable.


Ripened by the sun

Rouged flesh pockmarked by tan seeds

A strawberry grows


Mango’s tender flesh

Eaten on the porch in june

Delectably sweet.


A cornucopia

Of all different fruits is

My all-time life goal.
