Life’s Fruit
One’s mind is clouded by the fruit life
hands to us like lollipop to and from:
adult to child.
The fruit manifests itself past
capacity of mind.
Bitter tastes the fruit enticing
your thoughts to a bitter citric
coat leaving an undelightful
taste in your mouth.
The acidic taste burning your mouth to the point
Where you have to give a war
cry to illustrate
your superiority to its taste.
Ears burn riped tomato red,
the face attire of a strawberry picked at l
ate night’s sky oozing with dew.
The fitted rage clenched into your jaw
Till you remember the teachings of the tao,
You abandoned all to become all.
The fruit of life, truly nourishes within you.
You were able to express ideas about Taoism in a very creative way, and I really liked the sensory detail/imagery that you used throughout the poem.
