Alone with a Plate of Cherries

Cherries are delicious.

Wandering the early morning market

we spied ripe, red cherries,

tumbled together in a cardboard box,

finally at an affordable price.

At home our carefully chosen

delicious summer time treasures

tumbled carefree onto a plate,

delicious temptation.

Left alone in the house

for less than an hour,

my weakness demanded

more than one small taste.

Delicious ripe red cherries,

slowly disappearing,

leaving you just a few

and my embarrassed apology.

Author picture of the cherries left for my husband. Hopefully they’ll still be there when he returns.

Hey, first come, first served. If you hurry he need not know cherries ever entered the house. (hide the pits)

I adore cherries but must wait until June. I definitely don’t like sharing these treasures. A very enjoyable piece.

Lovely cherries. I’m afraid if cherries like those found their way into my house I’d eat them all
