Plucking Grapes Along the Lane

my sisters and I
plucking grapes along the lane. . . 
the chatter of birds

my sisters and I
plucking grapes along the lane. . . 
the sun sets purple

my sisters and I
plucking grapes along the lane. . . 
mom’s call to supper

Love the poem , I was once sat in a tavern in Cyprus , Not far from Aphrodite's beach When the owner said , Help yourself to grapes . I looked at him as if he had forgotten to put the grapes out , Above your head he pointed. there were grape vines all around the place and I'd gone there every night for two weeks and not noticed , Too busy watching the Greek dancers

You are quite "purple" these days! It's very lighthearted and I know when I as younger at my grandma's place, I would spend a tremendous amount of time picking fruit. It never got old :) Best of luck!

And the winner is: Dandy Andie! (appause, whistles) Another 'juicy' gem my friend and I assume you plucked only well ripened ones and no 'sour' grapes?...I will stop this nonsense now

And I'm quite certain this is getting on your nerves, but PLEASE don't subject me to your 'Grapes of Wrath' (Help me I can't stop)

Very nice. I especially like the repeats with different cutting line for each haiku. They are simple yet evocative. It should do well in the contest. Jack

I see you've chimed in with a poem for this interesting contest! I was awaiting your entry, and was wondering if you were going to write one...and this was worth the wait! You do know how to balance intrigue and a certain kind of complexity within this creative write my friend! I'm again impressed with another glorious poem by you Andrea! I'm glad I got to read this one, much better than my entry I must say, might be that they are just different! What a awesome piece, Great Work!!
