The Pear: A Self-Portrait by H.S. Sparrow
My hair is burgundy like
red wine
with short slightly kinky
curls
that lift softly in the
breeze.
A closer look reveals
the grey highlights
shimmering like shiny stars
a sign of distinction.
My eyes are like walnuts,
large and round,
and like pecans
soft and brown.
I am beach grass
that sways in the ocean
breeze...
bending with every change.
I am a pear
tall but stout.
My heart holds patience
that waits on kids to
bloom.
I am beach grass
that sways with each gust
of change.
My students say that
I am
firm, friendly and fair.
Guess where I live?
I live with worms and push up
flowers.
