Ode to Bananas


Bananas are like

a summers moon

soft, yet bright,

colorful

and 

delicate.

They are edible boomerangs.

A magnificent fruit

inside

a single peel.

Its peel is its

blanket.

A masterpiece

in itself.

Picked from

the glorious

banana palm.

They dance about 

in the fruit basket

complimenting 

all other fruits.

Their color

matches everything.

Cure for

crazy cravings

silly, spotty,

screaming to be

eaten.

They are like

the key to all

happiness.

They make

children laugh,

sing, and play.

Boost your 

metabolism.

Bananas 

are 

leopards

in the world

of fruits.

Their spots look

appealing yet

dangerous

yet 

on the inside

they are

still like

kittens.

Bananas

are 

essential

to a healthy

life.

Ode

to 

Bananas
