Fruity

Today's prompt is to write a poem about a particular fruit of our choosing, but we should describe the fruit as closely as possible.

Pineapple

Queen of the tropics,

I stand tall,

crowned,

shielded in golden armour

If anyone dare 

dig beyond 

my prickly countenance,

they'll find I'm pleasant

for I too bleed sweet nectar
