NEVER MAY THE FRUIT BE PICKED Never, never may th

NEVER MAY THE FRUIT BE PICKED Never, never may the fruit be plucked from the bough
And gathered into barrels.
He that would eat of love must eat it where it hangs.
Though the branches bend like reeds,
Though the ripe fruit splash in the grass or wrinkle on the tree,
He that would eat of love may bear away with him
Only what his belly can hold,
Nothing in the apron,
Nothing in the pockets.
Never, never may the fruit be gathered from the bough
And harvested in barrels.
The winter of love is a cellar of empty bins,
In an orchard soft with rot. –Edna St.Vincent Millay (1892-1950) #poem #poetry #food #foodblogger

A PEACH, SEVILLE With a doubled red blush, expone

A PEACH, SEVILLE With a doubled red blush,
exponential, slow ripening growth,
a few months from bloom to harvest,
firmness, meltiness, juiciness,
and sucrose, fructose, glucose
balancing out malate, citrate, quinate,
aroma-filled by lactones and esters,
texture and size set at cellular basis,
boasting the rosaceae family of hormones,
a genetic weighty soft abundance,
my heart was a peach –
raw, juiced, jellied, canned. ©elsp 2026

MIGRANT MOTHER Migrant Mother
My mother made me drink pea soup
Until I saw flowers and leaves
At the bowl’s base. Her home-made food.
Ungrateful child, I couldn’t see
This product of anxiety,
The long hours my poor mother
Put in at home, at work, to have to plead
With a fussy child to eat her supper. ©elsp 2025

#recipe #food #pear PEAR TREE Silver dust
lifted from the earth,
higher than my arms reach,
you have mounted,
O silver,
higher than my arms reach
you front us with great mass; no flower ever opened
so staunch a white leaf,
no flower ever parted silver
from such rare silver; O white pear,
your flower-tufts
thick on the branch
bring summer and ripe fruits
in their purple hearts. by H.D. (Hilda Doolittle) from Sea Garden (1916), accessed via Project Gutenberg

A COSEY CORNER Three apples by the fire
Their cheeks, red and ripe He told her she was as fine
And fiery as a ripe, red apple Her cheeks warm by fire
While her apple ripens ©elsp 2025

THOUGHTS by Myra Viola Wilds What kind of thought

THOUGHTS
by Myra Viola Wilds What kind of thoughts now, do you carry
In your travels day by day
Are they bright and lofty visions,
Or neglected, gone astray? Matters not how great in fancy,
Or what deeds of skill you’ve wrought;
Man, though high may be his station, Is no better than his thoughts. Catch your thoughts and hold them tightly,
Let each one an honor be;
Purge them, scourge them, burnish brightly,
Then in love set each one free. #poem #poetry #blackberry #fruit #food Poem and image in the public domain.

WILD STRAWEBERRIES by Jean Blewett The glad, glad

WILD STRAWEBERRIES
by Jean Blewett The glad, glad days, and the pleasant ways -
Ho! for the fields and the wildwood!
The scents, the sights, and the dear delights -
Ho! for our care-free childhood! Heavy the air with a fragrance rare,
Strawberries ripe in the meadow,
Luscious and red where the vines are spread
Thickly in sun and shadow. The glad, glad days, and the pleasant ways,
Chorus of wild birds calling:
"Strawberry ripe! Ho! strawberry ripe!"
From dawn till the dew is falling. #poem #poetry #strawberries #poemoftheday #fruit Poem and image in the public domain.

In evening haze.
He offers Eve a ripened pear
and couples everywhere turn to each other and kiss. ©elsp 2025 #poem #poetry #ekphrasticpoem #fib #fibonaccipoem #art
