Ode to the Kumquat Tree

Listen to Brie’s reading of her poem ‘Ode to the Kumquat Tree’ by clicking the red play arrow on the SoundCloud recording below:

Roamancing Travel · Ode To The Kumquat Tree

Kumquat trees
My Kumquat Tree
Oh Tree of Curious name
Who are you?

Here at my new home you taunt me 
with your suspicious fruit offering.

The size of a grape
The look of an orange
Yet nothing to say for yourself.

The lemons and grapefruits around you
would be the more obvious choice...
Yet it's you I want to try.

As my mouth opens wide
BAM! You punch me in my senses.

A wake up jolt of sour juice
Then a revival of health with your sweet skin.

I don't want to eat your skin
It goes against all historical eating
But alas - this kind of adventure is what keeps me bold.

Oh tree of curious name
I know who you are!
