Is It Ripe Yet? by Ann McCulloh

Is It Ripe Yet?

Ann McCulloh

cucumbers

A sensory investigation

Thump a melon for its sound

Feel the cabbage fill and round

Sniff the peach for its perfume

Rub the grape, dispel its bloom

Heft a gourd and tug it loose

Bite the apple, savor juice…

Pears

_Ann McCulloh 2010
