Igniting the Poetry Flame

He is the king of fruits
His green crown
Shooting out of his head
Like a million stars
If you hold him
You may get pricked
For he has his bodyguards
But, if by some chance you get into his heart,
You will find a sparkling treasure
The juice
Bright and golden
The flesh
Plump and sweet
Waiting
Waiting
Just for you
