Peewah, so called in Trinidad and Tobago is a palm fruit which when boiled with salt, makes a very tasty snack. 
It has the texture of a very fibrous sweet potato, only it is not sweet. 
Its is also know in some countries as Peach Palm Fruit

Quadrille - Smash
When the watermelon smashed to the ground, 
it was as if the hope of a heatwave's passing just got dashed;
36 degrees C under the sun,
what a waste of delicious red cooling bites;
island breezes seem banished to fiction,
scourching hot days, reality.

Sonnet 30: When to the sessions of sweet silent thought
By William Shakespeare
When to the sessions of sweet silent thought
I summon up remembrance of things past,
I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought,
And with old woes new wail my dear time's waste:
Then can I drown an eye, unus'd to flow,
For precious friends hid in death's dateless night,
And weep afresh love's long since cancell'd woe,
And moan th' expense of many a vanish'd sight;
Then can I grieve at grievances foregone,
And heavily from woe to woe tell o'er
The sad account of fore-bemoaned moan,
Which I new pay as if not paid before.
But if the while I think on thee, dear friend,
All losses are restor'd, and sorrows end.

Sonnet 30: When to the sessions of sweet silent thought; By William Shakespeare HERE

  8. Boo hoo for the smashed watermellon. A great use of the prompt. Nothing better than ice cold watermellon on a hot summer day!

  13. I love watermelon, so I was dismayed at its loss to the scorching hot day, Gillena. I like the comparison: ‘it was as if the hope of a heatwave's passing just got dashed’.

  19. It cannot be eaten raw. It must be boiled so yes eaten like a vegetable.
