Fruits Of Summer Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AB BCDEF GCHHIJK LM| Pomegranates and oranges | A |
| My favourite summer fruits | B |
| - | |
| For three years in my village there used to be a shortage of these two fruits | B |
| and we were only allowed one fruit a day | C |
| But I liked the taste of pomegranates after stripping the oranges of their shields | D |
| So I found a piece of land hidden in the space in between valleys | E |
| And I grew as many pomegranates and oranges as I could | F |
| - | |
| First year no yield crops died | G |
| The drought meant I had to carry water up and down the valleys more than once every day | C |
| It was tiresome and I just wanted to enjoy the fruits of summer | H |
| Second year very low yield didn't hold me up till the end of summer | H |
| Moving the crops to an area closer to water meant that I didn't have to carry as much water as often as I would have had otherwise | I |
| In the third year the ban was lifted and my yield was good enough to enjoy the fruits all year round | J |
| Lastly because the ban was lifted I was able to grow these fruits in a close by garden | K |
| - | |
| In three years I found that green tips grew on the calluses of my palms and soles | L |
| And the fruits found a way to slither around my body and turn me into a tree | M |

Poet's note: Sometimes harsh conditions kill but other times it is actually the way we strategise and take care of what we are trying to grow and whilst we are figuring out how to take care of things, it is okay to wait, and fail and wait some more
But not trying at all is unfair to our hearts which want to give so many things a go.
