A poem a day – 10 minute poem – Selected sweet plums

Selected sweet plums

Selected sweet plums
two in one in this one
lucky me.

Tenderly moist
and sweetly divine
but watch out for the pits.

Especially at this age
when teeth are precious
and pain is tenfold.

Glistening wrinkly succulence
as they pop/roll out
not the prettiest things.

Perfectly sealed for longevity
pretty colourful wrapper with characters I can’t read
nonetheless, is delicious.

Note: Topic chosen and photographed 5 mins before writing. Record under 10 mins writing time (about 8 mins) – woohoo! Had to check/google some synonyms though – pip or pit or seed? And then I had to download, resize and upload the photo which took extra mins, but writing/typing the poem took less than 10 mins, which I’m really happy about. 3 line verses are a lot easier to do (but perhaps not always). It’s not a bad poem, though it could be better/deeper/more refined. Nice preserved sweet plums too.

      Hello thatskinnychickcanbake, Thanks for your visit and comment. I appreciate it. Sometimes, I can get lost in and for words, so hopefully this exercise will help better that. I hope the poems will improve with time also. Best wishes!
