I went through Persimmon phase once. And for many years now, I've lost the taste. You're making me think that I've missed the point. Nice write.

So nice to read a poem of yours today Leonora! We used to eat persimmons all the time in California, but they don't grow here and I rarely see them at the store. We have starfruit here that not only looks beautiful when cut and arranged on a plate, but it is delicious. I never knew they existed before I came to Hawaii in 1980. You have a lovely evening, it is still morning here in Hawaii. Blessings, Connie

I've read an article about persimmon having many health benefits. So I bought some.
