Shall we make love under the apple tree?
stroke your plums,
take my cherries
second to none.
How fruity we will be
when we eat my gooseberry
we will make a fruity pear
if you dare.
If you want to love and writhe
let us just get a surprise
let us wonder
let us tease
if you don't mind.
Taste my lemons if you will
tartness sure to thrill,
be like Adam and succumb
bite my apple and weather the storm.

John you got it in one.
Just a fun poem on a day we ACTUALLY had sunshine. Think that was our summer.
As your upside down you must be getting it now.

Hi Alice,
Oh my Lord, I wish we were. We have had flooding in the lower half of the North Island that was so big the weight of water on the land was blamed for setting off a string of earthquakes!
In Auckland we have had rain more or less continuously for about three weeks.
I think I shall visualise the sun, in the lotus position, and see if it materialises?

Alice,
You're on top Alice-form with this exuberant piece - love the rhymes and rhyme-echoes throughout: plums/none; be/gooseberry; pear/dare; writhe/surprise; will/thrill; succumb/storm... Playful and delicious, not to say nutritious!
Nell.

Well Alice - the birds gorge on the cherries if the blossoms don't get nipped in the bud by the frost, plums tend to do well on alternate years, but I'm not sure about the apples. 30 lemons? Not outdoors, surely?
