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! 1/1/2017 Chastushka Poem Quince – inedible raw but transforms into an aromatic and delicious treat, when cooked.

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.

I love quince! Fun little poem; I don't think I've ever seen a chastushka. Happy new year, Kim.

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!

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!
