Pearadise.

I've always loved
a good pear,
hanging side by side,
just within my reach,
the tender skin enticing,
the sweet nectar of
love in bloom.

Watching them tumble
in an October dance
falling face up together
on a bed of soft leaves.
or suspended in
sun dappled splendor,
ripe for the plucking.
No flower of youth
is better represented,
then these lovely fruit.

Sometimes freckled
from the sun,
but always plump
and delectable,
I've always loved a pair.

    That's a very uplifting poem; it made me smile and that happens really rarely. Nice imagery there, very vivid and well thoughts. I have to admit, I can't help but love pears...
