The fig tree is bearing again. <br />Beautiful brown figs hang on all the branches. <br />Sweeter than honey, succulent and pure. <br />juicy figs, a taste of paradise. <br />So many figs that the mockingbirds and thrushes, <br />Are enjoying the bounty as well. <br /> <br />Figs on the branches, figs on the ground, <br />This was a good year lord, figs do abound. <br /> <br />Big and plump, splitting at the seams, with goodness. <br />Shall I dehydrate some, <br />Should I freeze some, <br />Should I can some, <br />Perhaps some fig jelly, <br />Perhaps some fig pies? <br /> <br />Figs on the branches, figs on the ground. <br />This was a good year lord, figs do abound. <br /> <br />7/27/12 Alton Texas<br /><br />Juan Olivarez<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/figs/
