WP PROMPT: List Your Five Favorite Fruits

Alnwick Garden- Photographer Unknown

When I think of my favorite fruits, I think of the fruits of my labors-

I think about the time I put into reading and studying so that I can be a better writer.

I have even learned about art because I find paintings and drawings to be inspirational and in that I figured I should

know how these works came into being and who brought them forward.

I’m not famous, I’m not even that good but my blog has been up and running for over 10 years.

You might not think that because these fruits are not full of sugar and sunlight that they are not sweet.

But they are.

Daily Prompt: My Five Favorite Fruits

Title: Mediterranean fruit fly
Creator: Art Cushman

I  love to feast

with reckless abandon

on

Lemons, Orangens, Pomegranates  and Mangoes

because I have to work to reach their flesh

and that makes me feel like a wolf or a tiger or maybe even a lion

taking down it’s prey.

Last but not least sometimes I eat strawberries drizzled in crunchy white chocolate

and as I pop them into my mouth delicately, I do it with a smile so that nobody can

guess

that I am thinking about oranges and lemons, pomegranates and mangoes

and how sweet it will be to hunt them down again.
