Notes About The Poem

3/30/2026 for Let's Minichu On Pleasure Poetry Contest sponsored by Mohan Chutani 

Penned for the Pleasure of a Georgia Peach

Have a pang or a pining?
Poised for piquant pleasure?  I positively preach:
when dining, 

you must savor
a pulchritudinous, plump peach
flavor.

Says I, 
“Please enjoy each
pie!”

Have a pang or pining -
A pulchritudinous, plump peach 
pie!

Congratulations on your winning work in Mohan's contest. Way to go. Thank you for reminding me how delicious Georgia peaches are. My mother used to make something she called three story pie. She would make a pie shell, then she would cook some dried peaches with a little sugar, then she would cook some vanilla custard or just custard and whip some meringue. She would put the peaches in the bottom, then some custard, and then the meringue. Of course, bake until the meringue was just right. Sara

Wow, now my mouth is watering! My grandmother had peach trees, and they'd all get ripe at once, and she'd chop them up and put them in milk cartons and freeze them. We would take them to our house, and then break off a huge chunk and then eat it something like ice cream.

Yum Dave! Indeed a pleasure. Congratulations! :) PS: I had a gentleman tell me I was like a sweet Georgia peach (I was about 18). My response, "You mean all orange and fuzzy?" Needless to say I did not hear from him again - LOL!)

pulchritudinous! It popped into my head and then I had to look it up to see if the meaning fit. I think I remember that word from the Wizard of Oz - lol!
