Selected Writings
Velvet brown figs splitting shyly expose pink Gently grasp the fruit's fullness The juice licked off my hand satisfies.
You tell me you know the feeling.

back to what's new
PLUCKED
Grape clusters dangling, delicate ripe jewels
Blackberries glisten, hang softly waiting
Tenderly tug with a slight twisting motion
till just the right moment comes to pull
releasing the perfectly plucked fruit.
