I just left a comment a minute ago but it got sliced up and eaten I think. I am so happy to see a poem of yours, I have missed you so.... I love this poem, especially the avocado, and the last stanza cries in pain. Yet so good to see the fruits of your creative efforts once again.
I love this one....It weaves in and out of my thoughts and creates a wondering

Hi Khaled,
What a lovely and original idea, to tell a poem narrative through fruit and berries! Refreshing.
Thank you for visiting my blog. It is truely nice to make your acquaintance. I am a follower of your blog henceforth.
Best regards,

Good taste!
This is a curious poem - I don't really understand it but I love the images of fruit, I can taste them - the rich and satisfying avocado, sweet berries, the tart taste of pineapple, and guava, which I use to scent my home, but don't really like the taste of. And then the olive, green, different, slightly bitter, the odd one out. Different aspects of a relationship?
Hey Khaled! Long time no see! Beautiful poem and very sweet and human. I like it very much!

Relationship gone from smooth,to sweet, to salty...I had a friend once who said, "every poem should have food in it". Hope all is well, LL
