Perk and Pleasantry

Ronda Larkin is a common mom with uncommon poetic perspectives.

 

The Fruit Trees

 

Long ago, we planted, some fruit trees in the yard.

Cherry, pear, and apple;

We bought them small, it wasn't hard.

 

First, the flowers bloomed;  Displaying quite a show.

Then, anxiously we waited,

As the fruit began to grow.

 

Just before the fruit, had ripened on the tree:

It began to leave our yard;

Picked by others, we did see.

 

Birds ate the cherries, the apples left with deer:

Squirrels took it piece by piece;

We watched it disappear.
