Joanna Daniel Poet Quintain (English)

Reaping and Relishing

REAPING AND RELISHING SAPODILLA PLUMS

Reaching out towards freshness all ripened,
Holding onto huge branches hovering high,
Not bothered about tan getting deepened,
I hand pluck lush naseberries straight from the sky;
Savouring sweetness with a satisfied sigh.

Robert Lindley August 10, 2017 at 4:56 AM Love it. My mother made the best plum jam back in the day. Simply can not buy store bought plum jams like that today.. Homemade biscuits spread with her plum jam or blackberry preserves was to die for. Great poem my friend... A fav..

Andrea Dietrich August 5, 2017 at 8:03 PM wow, this is amazing. One of the best quintains I have seen recently. Gosh, I sure would love to try that fruit. What do they taste like? Papaya?

Demetrios Trifiatis August 5, 2017 at 2:39 AM How deliciously poetic and inviting dear sister, Jo! Loved it!

Afzal Nusker August 5, 2017 at 2:06 AM I know this fruit. We call it sapeda and chiku. Perhaps the english name is Sapodilla as well. Sweet poem about this sweet fruit. Joanna Daniel August 5, 2017 at 7:05 AM You're right, Afzal, we call it Sapota in Tamil and it's Chiku in Hindi. I never knew it was called Naseberries or Sapodilla plums till I wrote this poem ;)

Joseph May August 5, 2017 at 1:52 AM Wonderful write Jo..best wishes

Winged Warrior August 5, 2017 at 12:47 AM A very sweet and fruitful quintain, Jo...god bless...^WW^
