Plum
The Plum tree gave plums.
juicy succulent plums,
But I killed it still..
we were chums,
sitting on our bums,
munching fruits willy nil.
filling out tums,
But, not to be.
I killed it with kindness,
I killed it with silly.
Such a hot hot day,
I drenched its shoot,,
Oh Plum Tree..
Forgive me,
For filling you..
From head to foot ..
and making you
Drink to the hilt..
You keeled over
in the night .
and broke..
Now the Plum is
no more,
though..
The most juiciest
plums, lay
on the floor .
within reach
it seems .
to boot..
such a delicious
joy
is forbidden fruit

Lol...Great write. I have a plum tree...have no idea how to kill it or keep it alive lol...never seen a fruit 🤔 🙂
Mine has blossom on it now..it needs to fertilise to get fruit ( I think)..usually it goes in spans .I hope I get some this year..( I killed the tree because it sucked up too much water and toppled over... unbelievable..broke the shed in two) thanks Marian..
Okay, I'm a little confused now....having read the comments.....so is the tree alive?...or dead?.....oh well.....regardless, I found the poem itself to be a LOT of fun.....had me laugh out loud twice actually.....and my curiosity lit up by the thought that the liquid you force-fed it was Vodka or something.....which would (to my mind) make it even funnier.....but that's just me....and I'm pretty sure I'm missing some of the info surrounding this entire premise.....But.... Miss PAULINE......there is no missing the fact that you write VERY well and have a VERY unique way of conveying what you experience in this world.....which (of course) makes for a VERY good artist!!.....I am ALWAYS surprised when I read something of yours.....Love that about your poetry!!......PINNED!!....thanx for sharing this dear poet sister!!......LOVE & ROCKETS!!.....T xo : )
it's dead Tony..it fell over to the ground, in a hot Summer laden with fruit I put a hose on its trunk and forgot about it, hence it sucked up all the water, top heavy it fell over and up rooted itself..but could be attributed to addiction...one of life's strange experiences..glad you found it interesting..xx
This is funny....is it not?....Am I missing something like a drought or something?.....cuz.....something doesn't feel right.....like I'm a dick or something.....I honestly apologize if I am being a sucky dude right now....I try......love & rockets!!.....T xo : )
