Student Poetry Competition 2026 Finalist: My Favourite Fruits

My Favourite Fruits

by Emma Rose Rodrigues, Rivercrest Christian College
Foundation – Year 2 Written Poetry Finalist

Apples and bananas

are good for you,

Oranges and mandarins defeat the flu,

Grapes are a yummy bunch

and its great with your school lunch!

But the fruits of the Spirit heal your soul

They are-

Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness,

goodness,  faithfulness, gentleness and

self-control.

Don’t put these fruits in your bowl,

use them everyday and you will feel whole!
