Grapes

Greeks hand-fed their lovers

Globes of this clustered fruit.

Grown chiefly for wine are

Green, purple, dark blue and

Giant red, sweet, plump grapes!

Get anti-oxidants;

Give yourself a handful!

CayCay Jennings Date: 12/2/2016 3:51:00 PM I don't get conjunctions either, but feel sure nothing is MEANT. Grapes is an original idea, these contests are fun for that reason - trying to come up with a word no other will use. I love the brain work behind these Pleiades and think you pulled off an original and gratifying one. I enjoyed it ... CayCay Login to Reply

Doug Vinson Date: 12/1/2016 7:53:00 PM Why is is pleasurable to read this poem, and to see the colors in the pictures?.... Oh well. : ) Login to Reply Doug Vinson Date: 12/1/2016 7:54:00 PM Aaack, now that looks wrong to me, like I was questioning whether it's pleasurable or not. It most certainly is!
