Poem Artwork

From the Russian River, from the valley of Ukiah
To the state of California, in a Gold Rush, in those covered wagons . . .

Contemplate with Conference, muse,  Pomona with a Bosc
Seckel
thoughts, senescent, Clapp, Anjous . . .

Homer spoke of them, "a gift from the gods!"
With their golden voluptuous curves, some poach in strawberry sauce!

So juicy, so sweet, grace, sophisticated, Nelis
Her teardrop, touched, of a buttery-flesh . . . of a red-freckled peel, Forelles

Mull with me . . . in Comice, Ponder o'er Packham . . .
Reflecting on, chewing over . . . Williams', Bon Chre'tien, and the Bradford's

Not anyone could tergiversate, no, not a single soul could bear
The lure of even, a Bartlett, or, of my poetic pome, the Pear . . .

This "pome" was wonderfully written... and it gives the brain and imagination a run for it's time... I loved it... and the exercise of reading something something so simple, yet at another level ... is well worth the rewards of reading... and savoring the delicious juice that poured from the pages... :-)) lindalaw

I had to look this one up...
"Tergiversate" (verb)
1. To use evasive or deliberately vague language: equivocate, euphemize, hedge, shuffle, weasel. Informal: pussyfoot, waffle. Idioms: beat about (or around) the bush, mince words. See clear

2.To abandon one's cause or party usually to join another: apostatize, defect, desert 3, renegade, turn. Slang: rat. Idioms: change sides, turn one's coat.

...but I soon realized that No, Noone can tergiversate, Your delightful Poetic Pome! XoXo ~Mara

Magnificent! I would cram them whole into my mouth and let the juice run down on my goatee and not care at all if I looked like a bloody nutch to the media searching for another story. Yummy!

I am old enough that maybe (repeat: maybe) I can recall the Californian gold rush and a dude named Ivan dishing out pear-pomes, de-licious!
