The Forbidden Fruit

the cast iron farm bell calls in the fruit pickers
a wholesome lunch with colourful seasonal fruits
spreading on a quiet embroidered pastoral tablecloth

they are just a bunch of jovial young lads
scoffing down a meal 
bantering as dessert

but you
you are reserved
quietly crunching on a Granny Smith 
fixated on an open book 
at the edge of the sun

they don't get you
you come freshly in the morning 
sharp witted in a checkered shirt
with a tinge of bitterness
aloof to the rest

so they call you 'Pomelo'
somewhat endearing
and you like it
for it is forbidden

    1. Hi Joni, this piece is a result of creativity runs free. I had grapefruit in mind as we ate grapefruit today. And I started to write and this fell out. I truly had no idea how did it come about. 😀 I am glad it works.💚
