April PAD (Poem-a-Day) Challenge: Day 18 "Watermelon"

Happy Saturday, my dear readers. I’m continuing my push to catch up on the April PAD Challenge. So here is Wednesday’s prompt: “think of a favorite regional cuisine, make that the title of your poem, and then, write the poem. For instance, you may title your poem something like “Brunswick Stew,” “Deep Dish Pizza,” or “Jambalaya,” though the poem doesn’t exactly have to be about food.”

This one is short and sweet. Pardon the pun.

“Watermelon”

We drove down to Rush Springs,
sun already intense on Saturday
morning, for the Watermelon Festival.
And danced.
