Hisoka #2 (Sonnet)

A mango that is plucked before its prime  Shall never measure up to ripened fruit  So hasten not the steady wear of time  For seasons rule the quality of loot.  Once gentle greens surrender to the glow  Of sunshine, gold, and buttercups in bloom,  That is the magic moment when you’ll know  To weave your harvest basket with a loom.  Beneath the branches drooping with June’s yield,  You savor juices fresh from shredded skins;  The pulp is sweetest when the rind is peeled  By fingers sharper than their owner’s sins. 

          With three and fifty scythes tucked in your sleeve,            The reaping shall not rest till frost’s reprieve. 

(Check out my HxH poetry collection on AO3! This one is for a card challenge on @greedislandchallenge.)
