i gathered guava fruits this morning <br />in our front yard the tree is lovely <br />the fruits are plump, huge and shiny <br />they all look succulent and juicy <br /> <br />i sunk my teeth into one greedily <br />but alas, some have gone ahead of me <br />inside the fruits they were so slimy <br />what a waste, a hollowed beauty!<br /><br />Eloida Capuno<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hollow-55/
