Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Buddha's Hand


I am a fruit called Buddha's hand,

And in the citrus family.

I'm grown in temperate climates and

Am found upon a thorny tree.

Multiple uses I provide.

I'm eaten for my flavoring zest,

Medical tonic, my dried hide.

For fragrant perfume I'm like best.

Buddhists deem me a new year's gift,

Good fortune I'm a symbol of,

Providing happiness uplift.

I'm given and received with love.


In the U.S. I'm often seen

As "goblin fingers," Halloween.
