Kim Rodrigues Poet Chastushka

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.

Afzal Nusker January 9, 2017 at 6:59 AM Incredible poem, Kim. Congratulations! Kim Rodrigues January 9, 2017 at 8:00 AM Thank you, Afzal!

Freddie Robinson Jr. January 7, 2017 at 10:27 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. Kim Rodrigues January 7, 2017 at 10:30 AM Thank you, Freddie!

Agnes Krampe January 1, 2017 at 7:12 PM I love quince! Fun little poem; I don't think I've ever seen a chastushka. Happy new year, Kim. Kim Rodrigues January 1, 2017 at 7:41 PM Trying out a "C" form for contest :) Thank you and Happy New Year, Agnes!

Andrea Dietrich January 1, 2017 at 4:35 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! Kim Rodrigues January 1, 2017 at 6:06 PM Happy New Year, Andrea! Looking forward to reading your poem! I guess I'm still busy this week...watching grands for two days and a birthday party for both daughters and my husband...phew! Blessings!
