Green under-ripe fruit Ripens slowly   To that perfect sweetness Succulent mangoes Crimson strawberries Inky blueberries Swallow their soft flesh and let it nourish you Before it’s too late And their skin becomes dry and wrinkled Black spots appearing Bruised flesh that leaves a bitter taste Eat it now Before the fur settles on the fruit Do not take your youth For granted

Fruit
Green under-ripe fruit Ripens slowly   To that perfect sweetness Succulent mangoes Crimson strawberries Inky blueberries Swallow their soft flesh and let it nourish you Before it’s too late And their skin becomes dry and wrinkled Black spots appearing Bruised flesh that leaves a bitter taste Eat it now Before the fur settles on the fruit Do not take your youth For granted
