    Just came across "Coolness of the melons" and honestly, wasn't too impressed. The line "flecked with mud in the morning dew" did make me think a little of fresh melons just out of the garden. But overall, it kind of left me feeling uninterested. Maybe I'm not just into this type of poetry, idk.
