Slices of a star
tasting you can be bittersweet
five pointed yellow shape
I knew I had to have you
the larger star is sweeter you'll see
filled with seeds, bountiful wishes
toss it in a bed of green leaves
an exotic treat, for your taste buds
spice it up, however, you please
oh precious star, you're an evening delight
please forgive me, as I take a bite
surrendering to the night....
I wish I may, I wish I might
have this wish tonight

Thank you for your visit
I sometimes buy, these at the store
the smaller ones are a bit bitter
Such a lovely poem!
ReplyDeletevery nicely done. I am finding it interesting how many fruits, when sliced across the middle have star shapes in them.
ReplyDeleteHi Dwight, I found that to be an interesting tidbit as well. I will have to re-think how I cut an apple.
DeleteOooh, another new fruit! I like a bit of a tang in my salad, too. Stars and wishes - a classic combo!
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah the smaller ones are a tad bitter. Stars and wishes a great combo😀
DeleteI like your end rhymes here, which add to the brightness of your poem to this beautiful fruit!
ReplyDeleteThank you Ingrid, I knew I had to try one the first time I saw them at the store.
DeleteExcellent choice of fruit, Truedessa, one I haven’t come across on the poetry trail yet, and I love the way it begins with ‘slices of a star’ and the brightness of the rhymes.
ReplyDeleteHi Kim, I was attracted to that star fruit. I wanted to slice it and see it’s star shape.
Deletedefinitely surprised to see star fruit here and pleasantly definitely! love your poem and how you honored these slices of a star!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I do love 🌟 stars
DeleteForgive me as I take a bite - funny!
ReplyDeletehaha - a bit of humor is always good.
DeleteI have tasted that star fruit a long time ago and its yummy. I love that star shape of the fruit.
ReplyDeleteThe shape does have an allure about it and they are tasty.
DeleteIt sounds delicious. I have never tasted star fruit.
ReplyDeleteThey are mostly grown throughout Asia but, they are now grown in warmer climates here like Florida and Hawaii.
DeleteI love the looks of the fruit, and sliced it looks lovely. I have however never found it very tasty.
ReplyDeleteBjorn, they can be a tad sour but, the shape is so enticing. Maybe, dip in some chocolate and try it.
DeleteWell, certainly I have to look for one here in Bend Oregon ... they sound delicious (the riper the better it sounds.)
ReplyDeleteSuch scrumptious use of language here especially; "bountiful wishes/toss it in a bed of green leaves/an exotic treat, for your taste buds/spice it up, however, you please."💝💝
ReplyDeletethere is something tempting in your words
ReplyDeleteLove to see the balance of feelings of joy to see the fruit and the apologetic stance upon having it. Very lovingly written True! Stay safe Ma'am!
ReplyDeleteHank
Those opening and closing lines work so well together. Amazing!
ReplyDeleteFantastic! I love this! Big Hugs!
