Peaches Poem by M.J. Lemon

Peaches

Rating: 5.0


i love peaches
especially in summer
the fuzz the sweetness

she really cares
for her pet name
causes her to come running

she's a good listener
she gnaws at the sofa
buries her treats in the angora

Nice poem. As it is discussed in other comments, some hidden references make this poem more beautiful. And peachea plus a good listener is an additional and worth quality.

You are fond of peaches and you have named your pet furry cat (or could be a dog) 'Peach'. On calling her by the name, she comes running and you are happy that she is a good listener and naughty too (gnaws at the sofa) . A poem that allows the readers to think and come out with different interpretations!

stanza 1: i thought/think you meant fruits stanza 2: punctuation would help me to NOT misread this. stanza 3: Ok, maybe " Peaches" is a squirrel, a mouse, or a rat? and which other animal gets " Peaches" treats buried in its fur: cat, goat, or rabbit? ? ? I noticed this title on the Home page, to which i'm rarely drawn. i decided to read the poem because " Peaches" is a woman's nickname in a novel i'm now reading. bri :)

Thank you, Bri! How is Peaches (in the novel, I mean) ? And this verse has multiple meanings to me, with more than one 'peach'. Punctuation- that enemy (well, that's maybe exaggeration) of figurative language! ! ! - it would preclude at least 3 readings of stanza 2.

OH to be blessed with a beautiful pet (I believe a dog- maybe a cat) I have the pleasure of a joyful dog. Bravo!
