Notes About The Poem

For Miranda Hawley's Plum Poetry Contest

PLUM

Peace is what we strive for on this earth.
Love for one another is proof of
Understanding that each soul to the Lord has worth.
Mercy God extends to those who practice love.

Congratulations on your plum work being a winner in the contest. I don't know how I missed reading it when you wrote it. It may have been a bad day for me though that day it was posted, and I wasn't reading many. Way to go. Thank you for sharing your creativeness with us. Sara K
