a grapefruit and a pomelo

The pomelo says to the grapefruit:
"You are the prettiest shade of pink,
exceeding even the raspberry and the dragonfruit.
Sharp yet unjaded,
you speak your mind with forthright ease,
handling each word with care."

The grapefruit says to the pomelo:
"Your nature,
well-hidden behind walls of toughened skin,
can be uncovered in segments.
When teased from the shell,
an architecture of bits, each one fiercely singular,
comes into the light
as sweet, sweet juice."
