Ripe

Sweet and ripe

Juicy and delicious

The first fruit of the tree

has fallen just for me


It was just 

out of reach

the bright golden

Beautiful peach


And then as it fell

onto the ground

it burst open

with little sound


It turned bad

and brown quickly

and I think to myself

when was the fruit ripe?


When the fruit was 

just out of reach

and that's why I never

got my beautiful ripe peach

Figurative language anyone? I wrote this again in five minutes during recess XD
