Poetry: Watermelon

by Ilana Botha

Created on: August 15, 2009

Sweet nectar bursts and bubbles
Down my face.

Tasty flesh dances on my taste buds,
excusing the bitterness of the seed.

Now it is running down my arms,
Settling into sticky wet patches.

Bzzzz....ouch!



Watermelon warning: ONLY IN THE BATH!
