FRUIT (NehpetsEnal) Wk - 2 (2)

FRUIT - Acrostic, Tanka & Cinquain

Falling gracefully like old people's hair, did the embryonic blossoms of spring

Revealing their babies, to the singing rain

Under the summer sun, they puffed like a pregnant mother's womb

In the autumn breeze, the little monkeys swung from their branches

Then along came, Adam & Eve, to taste the fruits of Mother nature's labour

Footnote: The Acrostic, is obvious, as is the five lines of the Cinquain, however, the Tanka is an attempt to address its Japanese origin of a lover's messages, using inanimate objects to depict the desired outcome of their love, a child.
