so much depends upon a strategic line break phrases with short words famous poet cosplay

The worst is how small the odds @scalzi.com will see this (lol)

I tried working that in but it didn't seem to fit.

busted

Thats just plum dumb! 😆

To not make a mess while eating a plum, impressive.

I hate plums.

Look goddamnit It's entirely possible To NOT eat a plum And make A poem about it I saw the plum In the refrigerator And thought "No thank you"

"he's a capable writer but there's too much cursing"

😁

It's a bit long, I'd throw it in the dehydrator to prune it down a bit.

A plum for you A peach for me No need for us to disagree You be you And me be me And all of us can just agree....... Or we can just make a peach/plum pie and call it a day. Yum.

I’ve eaten plums in a wet red wheelbarrow next to white chickens though. ❤️

I'm plumb out of plums.

Haunting. Is "Plum rock" a thing yet? I imagine a mixture between Shatner's œuvre and Ziggy Stardust but everything is plumus-themed. Lots of guitars, too. Do you know anyone who has guitars

Age Of A Plum It's entirely possible to eat a plum Not tell the world about it Peel it Feel the rough texture Of it's skinless hide The moist essence Of it's juice dripping Dripping, dripping Then gobble it In nonchalance It is entirely possible But some need to be sung of BM2 J Castillo 9/22/26

William Carlos is so not amused - but now do a Red Wheelbarrow💖💖

Love this! Very funny, nicely crafted.

This is the content that completes me.

Then it's a ploem.

Spotted recently in the wild

I will never be tired of This Is Just to Say variations. It is the poem that keeps on giving.

I love this!!! Well done, a not-a-poem about a plum!

Yes YES The poem is out

They are soooo good

I think about that plum poem ALL THE TIME. Why? Forgive me, I cannot say. It is just so sweet and so cool.

Ok now do a poem about whether or not you should eat a peach

Ah… but have you had a PLUOT specifically the one they call a “dinosaur egg” So juicy, so tart, yet also… sweet? Boggles the mind

Should you dare to eat a peach? only if plums are out of reach. If you dare to eat a plum, the worst result is saying “yum.“

I have eaten the prunes that were left in the pantry Along with two bean burritos And a pumpkin Spice latte Forgive me I never realized a bowel movement could be aerosolized

A "found" poem. 😁

Ogden Nash says Why did God give us agility If not to evade responsibility!

Nice work, Professor. (got a Clue from it)

You scream I scream We all scream In existential horror

Nice poem.

Love it. I used to do poetry as well. It was a way to get emotions thoughts out of my system. Before that it was art and therapy. Now its color by number art that I post on my pixelfed.de web page- Pixelfed is a European social platform, free membership. Do check it out

That’s plum crazy

Just the other day I ate one plum from the fridge It was sweet and cold See? Simple. No rhymes. Just three lines. 5+7+5 syllables- wait- oh, no…

Well done!!!! Lolol!!

So very Prufrock-ish.

And don’t even get me started on wheelbarrows (red or otherwise) Let’s just glaze over those What? - Don’t you dare accuse me of chickening out

It obviously wasn’t an Italian Prune Plum. Or you’d still be writing your poem.

Absolutely nothing Depends On a red wheelbarrow

Got a bunch of purple plums of any quality? Simmer them down with a dash of vanilla and cinnamon, and just enough sugar - and it tastes like cherry jam. The Austrians were onto something.

Eating plums may Lead to cellulite. Before I go to bed at night I contemplate my cellulite. Little lumps of past repasts Fondly stashed in thighs, arms and ass. What memories these lumps conjure- Filet mignon and soup du jour. Some see them as unsightly bulges. I treat them with amused indulgence.

Ha!

John Donne would be proud 🤓

And that, sir, is why prunes exist.

Sink fruit strikes again

Thank you for this beautiful giggle

Amazing. It is worth a poem. The odds of finding a ripe plum in New England are about 1,000:1.

The man cursed with unintentional poetry writing. The saddest story.

😂

I had to eat some yellow plums over the deck railing,soooo juicy

A plum is never just a plum. You confuse it with cigars.

I have heard them singing, each to each. I do not think that they will sing to me.

I have that album on vinyl...

Depends... Try to call it bob. Does it smell as sweet?

It just sneaks up on you

I know poems don´t have to rhyme, but they are much better when they do. Starter Villain should have had sequels.

I’m envious. It’s been years since I’ve encountered a plum good enough to write about.

That thar was plum hilarious.

This poem, and these replies…! <weeps with happiness>

Try a peach. They're easier to avoid waxing poetic over.
