Attempt At Poetry Wednesdays! (No.16)

It would appear I kind of enjoy writing poetry, though I'm awful at it. A fondness has started to develop. This weeks poem is dedicated to author Nicky White and her wonderful Americanisms.

Americana

Driving in deep.
Grabbing the melons.
Squeezing them hard,
Picking the best to keep.

Picking the strawberries,
Biting them through.
Checking their texture,
Before shipping them off in Ferries.

Peeling the bananas,
Choking them down.
Biting the tip,
Sending them to the Bahamas.

Nibbling the cherry’s,
As they pop in my mouth.
Juices are flowing,
As I enjoy the berry’s.

My job at Tropicana,
The best I've ever had.
I'm living the dream.
This ... my Americana.
