Ugly Produce

Hold up your cup of cheer, my friend!
I’ll hold your hand, and squeeze. You wince.
Your life - it’s not to save, but spend.
Work hard, its yield! Spice up with quince!

Chastushka Poem

Quince – inedible raw but transforms into an aromatic and delicious treat, when cooked.

Freddie Robinson Jr. Date: 1/7/2017 10:27:00 AM A very cool poem, Kim. And I love that you dropped some knowledge on me w/qince. Did not know anything about it, until I read your poem. That alone makes your poem solid gold to me. But it was humorous on top of that, an added bonus. Ty for sharing this gem. Love and peace to you from Romantic Warrior.

Andrea Dietrich Date: 1/1/2017 4:35:00 PM VERY cool way to do the contest. I am going to work on a form I love and nobody is doing it yet? Wish me luck. HAppy new year too. It's good to be back but not to be having to do so much catching up! Login to Reply Kim Rodrigues Date: 1/1/2017 6:06:00 PM Happy New Year, Andrea! Looking forward to reading your poem!
