Hey…
I hope all of you are doing well…
Well isn’t this a nice change of pace,
my top 5 favorite fruits,
Hmm…
it really got me thinking that I need to include more fruits into my diet,
but,
there are a few which I absolutely love…
Oranges being one of the most convenient one and easily available fruit,
being the combination of citrus and sweet plus a big intake of fiber,
packs a punch and keeps me satiated for longer…
How can one forget Watermelon,
the flavor that is nowhere to be found and in this peak summer heat it’s refreshing,
you can’t go wrong with a cooled watermelon after working in the summer heat,
or returning home after a tiring afternoon…
Ever heard of Grapes,
The range goes beyond 10.000 varieties,
but on a broader scale,
we see green, purple and red ones,
they are used in so many ways,
popping them just like that,
freezing and using them instead of ice in drinks,
and the biggest place they’re used in making wines of many varieties,
they automatically make a fruit platter look more appealing with the different shapes they’re available in,
don’t forget they are used to make raisins too…
Bananas,
do I even need to say anything,
The only fruit that is made which comes in nature’s packaging and can be eaten on the go without making any mess ever,
the years of tweaking with its DNA has made it seedless,
and a perfect snack that can be had whenever,
(I’m looking at a basket of a dozen sitting right Infront of me as I’m writing this one..)
I’m pretty sure you’ve heard of the phrase,
“An apple a day keeps the doctor away…”
The varieties of it kills me each time,
there are 4-5 different types/qualities each and every supermarket or fruit market that I visit,
like they are coming from a single source right…?
but,
packed with so much flavor and crunch,
some sweeter than sugar,
some sour like granny smith used to make pies and tarts,
a good piece of apple looks beautiful,
is firm to touch,
and has no visible indentation that you can feel with your hands…
With this,
the prompt of this day comes to an end,
my top five favorite fruits…
Cheers 🥂
Love Waakiye 🤍
darker are these thoughts,
pitch black like tar,
feels like there isn’t a tomorrow,
just like there wasn’t a yesterday’s morning.
On this pitch-black night,
walks with me my shadow,
I see it,
when a speck of moonlight tries to reach this body,
as soon as I turn this head,
I see it escaping.
On this dark night,
I walk these streets unknown,
unknown to who’s following me,
I walk with fear within this heart…
Waakiye
