Me And Five Pears

There’s something about the shape of this fruit

about the way it makes the light reflect 

the colours from yellow to green

and from pink to red.

The green ones were my first choice.

Green turning to brown 

with yellow and gold

highlights.

I thought I liked them best.

But in the end it was the brightness

of the red that won me over,

convinced me

of its perfection 

for incorporation 

into my painting.

I chose them carefully 

and arranged them in a dish

spilling them out onto the table top.

Then I threw away the dish

and held them myself.

I struck a pose.

Look!
