    senryu of the plum

    should the plum wither
    fruit untended serves no one
    once pruned it moves men
    I once read the back of a box of saltines. The grammar, spelling and punctuation were all perfect. The contents, however were a little bland for my taste. ~ feralpen

    Hope this little 'plum in cheek' was taken as humorously as it was meant. Thank you for reading

    Glad you liked 'plum'. I often like to have a little fun when writing. You've been most tolerant. Thank you.

    Thank you Annie;

    Glad the humor worked for you. I have a lot of FUN writing. I can be serious ... I just avoid it any time that I can.

    Thank you for a very kind comment. Just take up pen and paper and try a couple of these. You never know, they may be much easier for you than they are for me. I am always in doubt that I do them properly.
