Pineapple Sun Poem by Carole Cookie Arnold

Creative imagery casts a spell
Every poet has learned so well
Step with me to the edge of a page
Stage set as we enter a field of sage

A pineapple sun floats on a lemon mist
Herbal garden of thyme with a mint twist
Looking left a watermelon patch round
Sweet and juicy it puddles the ground

Under a huge oak a table set for a King
Apples, oranges, bananas and cherries sing
Brie and hot bread with frozen fruit drinks
Orchids and violets spun deep, in ivy sink

Dragon flies float over reeds by a creek
Rich yellow buttercups bumble bee’s seek
Scents of evening jasmine now fills the air
Spending some time in a land so fair

As all good things come to an end
We step from this page a review we send
A garden tended with fine creative detail
Firefly lanterns light the pages trail

Bend the corner of this page to mark
Another days adventure on a poet’s ark
We all see through a stroke of a pen
Travels of eloquence by quill we send
