Big ripe juicy peach

Drips run down my hands and fall

On bare shoeless feet.

Art Prescription:  Summer peaches…yum. I’ve been buying them by the bunch at our local farmer’s market. Eating a ripe peach is a sensual experience! First you smell it…ripe. Then take a big juicy bite into the sweet flesh. Juice explodes into your mouth and if you don’t have a paper towel, runs down your hands. Peaches like this are meant to be eaten sitting on a porch in bare feet soaking up summer sun. Bite after juicy bite drips through your hands and onto your toes. Now you have properly eaten a golden ripe peach!!
