Poet of the week from the Children's Bookshow

2/11/2020

 
Poem of the week
By Their Fruits Ye Shall Know Them


If humans and animals can be compared:
say a hairy grandpa to a cuddly panda
say a limbo dancer to a wriggly cobra
say a full-o-beans toddler to a frisky hare
 then why can’t people and fruits be paired
(no pun intended)? So those I find easy
to get along with, I’ll call banana-breezy.
Not like those who are pineapple-pricklies.
 Yes, the world is full of all fruit-types.
Some are green yet act like they’re ripe.
And some look downright rotten outside -
Until you discover their inside.
 Then of course you have those who show
the world a tough coconut exterior -
never wanting to appear a softie.
coconuts with a deep down heart of strawberry.
