Thank you, Tom! A poem using only five letter words can be difficult unless one is a rural raised Southerner. lol Thanks for your support, and Happy Easter.

Thanks, Jan! In the rural South, collards are considered a staple. They fall in the same category as turnips, mustard greens, and rutabagas. They really are good, and easy to prepare. Just boil them with a chunk of ham hock until tender and serve them with a sprinkle of pepper vinegar and lacy corn bread and you have a literal feast. Happy Easter, my friend!

Curtis, congratulations on your win on this great piece! I found it a little difficult to write with just 5 letter words. :) Hugs Eve

Thanks, Eve! Five letter words are difficult in formulating a poem unless one is raised in the South where collards are a staple. lol Happy Easter to you.

Thanks, Anne-Lise! Writing any form of poem using words with only five letters is somewhat difficult, but turned out to be just as you said --- fun!

Yum, yum, yum. Sprinkle pepper vinegar. Dash of salt, few grains of pepper. Nothing finer. But not so common north of Carolina nor west of Oklahoma!

I'm from Georgia. Where are you from? Gotta be a Southerner if you like collards!! lol Actually, I think a person would have to be a Southerner to know what collards are. They don't know what they're missing!!

All true, Leo! I was stationed in Oklahoma during my Air Force career and I have a step-daughter who lives in North Carolina. I have traveled north of Carolina and west of Oklahoma, but did not find any collards. Thanks for your great response.
