PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

You picked me

Like fruit from a tree.

You pushed the leaves

Aside to be able to reach me,

You were initially attracted

By my coloring and texture.

You expected my center to taste

As sweet as my exterior looked.

But you put me back on the tree

Because I wasn’t ripe enough.



You picked me

Like a book on a shelf

You brushed the cobwebs

Aside to be able to get to me.

You were drawn to

My attractive cover and title.

You expected my content to

Be as interesting as my exterior.

But you put me back on the shelf

Because I was too dramatic for your taste.
