Pluot

Plum's exotic cousin
Part apricot, all sweet
Puckery zing delight
Permeates pastel June
Pink freckled fair ladies
Pollen dusted with the
Perfume of summer fruit

Quoth Theraven Date: 4/11/2021 12:44:00 PM Michelle, A cousin's companion in fine Verse. This contest is getting interesting. Happy Sunday. -Richard Login to Reply Michelle Faulkner Date: 4/11/2021 1:27:00 PM There are a lot of great entries for this one! Happy Sunday to you as well~

Sara Kendrick Date: 4/10/2021 3:45:00 PM Reads like a good contender for the contest. Way to go. I think I would like that because I like both plums and apricots. I have had seen them because I order online now and my husband goes most of the time and picks up the grocery order and I help put it away or put it away all by myself. All about trying to avoid getting sick. Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara Login to Reply Michelle Faulkner Date: 4/10/2021 3:54:00 PM Yes we also order online from the store sometimes, although I would rather pick out some groceries (like fruit, eggs, meat) myself, because I have gotten less than desirable perishables when I order them online! Thanks for commenting!

Anne-Lise Andresen Date: 4/10/2021 1:34:00 PM - A wonderful poem, well done with the letter P :) - Best wishes in the contest, Michelle :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :) Login to Reply Michelle Faulkner Date: 4/10/2021 3:52:00 PM Thank you kindly, Anne-Lise.

Juliet Ligon Date: 4/9/2021 8:46:00 AM The sight, the smell, the taste you portrayed makes my mouth water. Last year I picked up some pluots and plumcots then potted the seeds outside. Now I am seeing a few sprouting! It will take years to see fruit though.

Harry Horsman Date: 4/8/2021 10:58:00 PM Oh wow, not only a wonderful welcoming poem, but a learning curve for me also Michelle. LOve this, a winner already for me..Good Luck in the contest.

Gershon Wolf Date: 4/8/2021 5:22:00 PM Your poems about fruits are so informative and interesting, Michelle... I googled 'pluot.' First I got 'Pluto.' (Not the dog, either)... When I googled pluot fruit, I got what I wanted... Now I just have to find them in the store... Probably a better chance of that in hip Oregon than in the staid Midwest here. G.L. in Kim's contest. :) gw Login to Reply Michelle Faulkner Date: 4/10/2021 3:50:00 PM They are usually in season from June-September (not long, I know) hope you can get your hands on one! Thanks for the visit~

Vijay Pandit Date: 4/8/2021 3:04:00 PM Exotic indeed! Didn't know pluot is a hybrid of plum and apricot. Your poem is a sweet dedication to the fruit. Expertly articulated, as always, Michelle. All the best. Login to Reply Michelle Faulkner Date: 4/10/2021 3:45:00 PM Thanks for commenting, yes they are exotic and yummy :)
