You often stand alone
A small bluff rising from sterile marble counters
And uninspired kitchen tables
A colorful oasis in a desert of endless white
A burst of life among dull wood tones
You’re a fearless rogue in a land of militant conformity!
You hold in your custody, at various times,
Fresh oranges and apples,
Bright lemons and limes
Grapes and bananas dangle freely from your sides
While the seductive curves of bold peaches and pears tempt the eyes
For exotic flair, you may display a mango or kiwi
Perhaps a pineapple
Or papaya
The sight of these makes one dreamy
Whether a tropical island in paradise
Or an orchard in autumn harvest
The wonderful fruit you contain
Transports the mind to so many climates
You light up a room
And spark imaginations
And contribute to scrumptious culinary creations
You are a work of art
A splash of vibrant hues
A delightful breakfast companion
And the perfect muse
