OUR FRUIT

The fruit--
sour and sweet,
with the juicy pulp,
of the squishy round--
anarajado--
is like the juice of the
bright sun,
and can make you hungry!

OUR FRUIT

Our fruit is hard and bumpy,
Tastes sour and juicy,
Smells like a rainbow candy
And smooshes vitamins, too,
inside is good for you!

OUR FRUIT

Like a splatter of paint
Is Skittle sweet--
Not an apple

OUR FRUIT

Cold and squeezy,
That's what it is--
Liquidy that's slippery,
Tingles in your mouth,
Popping and good,
And strong like me.

By Jairisrael "Lule" East Berry Branch Library, Fort Worth

OUR FRUIT

Tastes like a candy river,
Sweet and juicy,
Is round like a football
And squishy good!
