Seeking one ripe plum,
I approach the laden tree
with a grateful heart.

seeking one ripe plum
behind the blue pantry door—
no one has a key
~~ 3 ~~
Seeking one ripe plum
to split among my children—
each will taste a slice.

seeking one ripe plum
to the east of the grain field—
three crows menace me

seeking one ripe plum
to give to the single mom
in Apartment 3

Seeking one ripe plum
I scratch my head in wonder
before the gnarled tree.
~~ 7 ~~
seeking one ripe plum—
depending on the moon’s phase
I might find seven

seeking one ripe plum
while the player piano
rolls out tinkly tunes

seeking one ripe plum
for the youngest of my sons—
his birthday present

Seeking one ripe plum—
the glint in her eye tells me
she’ll split the bounty.

seeking one ripe plum
on a level garden path
wingless butterfly
~~ 12 ~~
seeking one ripe plum
while spiders attach their webs
to my eyes and ears
