Persimmon by Judi Van Gorder
Soggy leaves decompose
on the winter walkway
that ambles through the stark barren garden.
One lonely Persimmon tree stands discarded
against the sky, leafless array
of dark limbs seem to doze.
Golden orbs appear to hang unguarded,
the dulcet sweet fruit on display
with no one to pose
a threat to dispose.
Left ignored on this frosty day,
bountiful harvest is unregarded.

My Example Poem
My Template (Bragi)
In summer I would
lose
my shoes, and all
the clothes I could.
That meant I never,
ever, wore a shirt.
I waded in canals
and played in dirt
and had I pup, so
times seemed good.
School'd start- then
I'd wear shoes.
I can't remember
ever being hurt
that i was loved I
understood
I did not have to
choose
for happy were the
views
to which I was
exposed and would
in adult life
naturally revert.
