Couple of Softies

i left these monokus to soak overnight ~ they’ve plumped up pretty tight

were soft and squidgy slightly runny ~ now swollen need heat and honey 

finally ready will they make the cut ~ oatmeal pancakes who needs smut

Hey David no, no smut but a clever poet who lets his Monokus soak overnight, and which certainly make the cut. Well penned my friend. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

I really do let them soak overnight Jennifer, sometimes they plump up better, but occasionally go a bit too abstract and need adjustments next day before posting, cheers David

Intriguing at the leased, David. A bit of an after taste for me. I say they made the cut my friend. Bill

Thanks Bill, probably more allusive to sleeping on a poem, before posting always a good idea, cheers David

Sounded at first like a recipe for pre-soaking red beans before cooking them. At any rate, I enjoy your writes for their ability to make your reader give pause and think about what you're REALLY saying.

Thank you Jenna, you totally get my methods, I like to leave the reader with a little afterthought if possible, to bring more depth and insight into what I’m really thinking, cheers David

Thank you Andrea, my poems sometimes need to soak overnight before posting, delighted you get the idea, cheers David

I found these so amusing, David. I think they make the cut, especially after marinating overnight.

Always a good idea Milton to let them soak up all the moisture before cooking, or when writing a monoku let it stew a little before posting, cheers David
