Ragtag Daily Prompt Saturday: Citrus
Before a lemon
a flower is born
splendid in white
a centre is formed
A lemon emerges
hangs on to life
shiny and golden
from sunshine to ripe
The tree is heavy
a bounty of lemons
yellow and happy
life from the soil
Towards the end
a sunset of life
the next stage
ready for picking

That’s so lovely, Brian – beautiful sequence of pictures and such a lovely poem 🙂
But you missed out the final verse… Maybe:
‘Tired Daddy and Mummy,
After long days at work
Slice the yellow beauty,
Releasing it’s aromas
and drop,
with a clink of ice,
to their glass…
Sunset of the day”
xx

Love this Brian! Dumb as it may sound, had no idea lemons started as such beautiful flowers! Learn something new every day. Loved the verse as well.
