Hachiya persimmon 

dripping sweetness, 

twilight’s reds, oranges, pinks 

unfurl over ocean 

George Chandy is a retired physician-scientist newly embarking on expression through poetry. His poems have appeared or will soon appear in Soul Forte, The Rush Magazine, and Spirit Fire Review. He shared, “The hachiya persimmon tree I planted thirty years ago bore fruit in late fall this year. This poem describes a moment of bliss in my garden.”
