FRESH FRUIT - trái cây tươi ... Maureen Clifford © The #ScribblyBarkPoet
Her English wasn't perfect but she knew
enough to barter for her fresh produce.
She held up two fingers and stated two,
two mangoes for two dollars was her price.
And dragonfruit reposed there red and bright
within the wicker baskets filled with fruit
and every item was a fresh delight
with every one fair priced, with price to suit.
And so we sat upon the golden sand
and feasted on this fresh and simple fare.
Our fruit vendor wandered off goods in hand
along the beach to further sell her wares
baskets balanced evenly on her back;
as we enjoyed our feast in Paradise.
