Interesting poem. The picture was very good as well. the words that were used was interesting and not ordinary, I don't think I stumbled over any spags

I must read each piece I see with your name to it. Each one is so different-you just don't know what you're gonna get next. I liked the different word choice, made it fun and challenging to read. Enjoyed.

    Thank you so much for that comment! I try quite hard to stay out of ruts - it is so lovely that you notice I do not write variants of the same poem all the time. (some do, and it gets on my nerves.LOL) Brooke

First off; respect to you for the total lack of author's notes. Has anybody told you they aren;t words yet? I live for such things!

Secondly, and more importantly, it's nice to see the return of the obscure and whimsical section of your vocabulary, Brooke. Long my its resourcefulness continue!

Also, I love "And if a rainfall chooses
right now to feed the fruit".

Beautifully put. I am smiling :-)

    Mike, glad to see you smiling, and yes, all the time people think I'm coining words ala Carroll and Seuss. They're all in the dictionary, but people write and either compliment me on my made-up words or ask me what they mean. Thank you for doing neither!! LOL And thank you for the lovely review, Brooke

I find no flaws. I think it's cute, but what the hell's a"bumbershoot". I really have run out of superlatives.

Regards,
Reg

I absolutely loved the wording in this poem. It was so inventive. It really creates a lot of imagery. The words, even though they are not normal words, flowed very smoothly. I really enjoyed it!
