Peaches

Peaches

 

Peaches ripen then

They rot and fall food for worms

Elsewhere children starve

Just three lines but saying so much. Wonderfully written. Short but powerful and thought provoking. Not just the falling fruits but today food gets wasted like it's of no value. In party's and functions there is so much wastage today, where if given to someone needy it will both bring blessings and self satisfaction to us and health to the person. I really liked how you portrayed the topic with peaches and yes Great thought friend.

So grow peach trees in the desert?

[Samuel Dickens]

You bring to mind all the food in this world that gets wasted. Lets give the peaches to hungry folks and put the worms on a diet.

[Neville]

What an absolutely brilliant idea sir.... Many thank you's Samuel ... Neville

Sharp contrast here between plump, ripe peaches falling to rot on the ground, while children malnourished all skin and bone starve to death. Highlights the injustice of a world without compassion. Much to ponder. Charities can help.

Thank you our Chris.. yes I'm afraid all too often the fuzz on those peaches clouds the vision.. and of course there are those who only see as far and wide as they want to see..... Neville

The thought is very noble, but fresh produce doesn't travel well ... but to help the children starving elsewhere we could support Oxfam, action-aid !

[Neville]

Thank you for checking these words out,appreciated & yes, there are many worthy causes out there, several of which I already subscribe to.......N

[Mrudula Rani]

That is wonderful - wish you all the best.

Poignant, perfectly metered,sad Senryu about the waste of resources in some parts of the world in the hollow face of starvation in other parts of the world. Such an atrocity. Eloquent and powerful poem Neville. Well-done.

[Neville]

Yes, so very sad but oh' so regrettably true.Many thank you's Annette

[AYVID N]

Very sad and so beautifully written. If only we just opened all our gardens to those children...your pen drips such love and compassion here.

[Neville]

You have such a nice way with words, thank you so very much dear friend....

[AYVID N]

[Neville]

Well I never, must be karma...
