Figs. Why do poems remind me of figs?

Portable
Edible
Nutritious
Makes the mouth happy
Engages many senses
Plenty of seeds (which are not bothersome to eat)
Fine subject matter for a poem
The very word is a mini poem, making a sound that is both definitive and playful



And versatile as in cooking -- fresh or dried. Yup, figs.

    small, of them, she is
    somewhat famous
    rosemary and fennel
    on the tongue
    cool fruit
    on the table
