Lists

Today's challenge is another great challenge! We are to write a poem which uses the form of a list to defamiliarise the mundane. Once again: Challenge accepted!

The fruit stop

The waft of stagnant fruit,

The pungent pull of apples,

The sickly sweet scent of berries

The chin-dripping mangoes,

The sticky-fingered watermelons,

The face-pinching lemons

The dimpled orange peel,

The delicate raspberry bubbles

The leathery bananas

The hot pink sunset of dragon fruit,

The midnight sky of plums,

The sunrise of pineapples
