Banana Dreams
All winter long, visions of lush banana plants dripping with plump fruit, filling the breeze with a sweet tropical scent, enriched my dreams, and made me weak in the knees. My desire for that luscious fruit consumed my heart. I must have you… I can’t bear the thought of another California summer without you.
As the weather warmed, I embarked upon my pursuit. My peaceful summer days in the shade will never be the same. Now, I will lounge in the shade of my first banana, Ice Cream. Oh, banana, why did I wait so long???? I am under your magical spell. You have captured my heart.
