JOHN MOLE
The Pear
Soft green body soaked in sugar juices Candlewick stalk, the smooth cones rounded Sweet to taste Happy to be a feast Hanging on a branch waiting for a picker Trying to attract the right devourer To pierce the flesh The juices run fresh Not king of the bowl, understudy of others The half crushed character, buried under brothers Soon you forgot And it started to rot He has no hard shell, no leathery skin Just delicate layers to keep the juices in Soft to touch Easy to crush.
