Sylvia Plath - Fiesta Melons
Work rating: Medium

In Benidorm there are melons, 
Whole donkey-carts full 

Of innumerable melons, 
Ovals and balls, 

Bright green and thumpable 
Laced over with stripes 

Of turtle-dark green. 
Chooose an egg-shape, a world-shape, 

Bowl one homeward to taste 
In the whitehot noon : 

Cream-smooth honeydews, 
Pink-pulped whoppers, 

Bump-rinded cantaloupes 
With orange cores. 

Each wedge wears a studding 
Of blanched seeds or black seeds 

To strew like confetti 
Under the feet of 

This market of melon-eating 
Fiesta-goers.
