Poetry Monday :: Quince

Dear readers ... MotherOwl's new, old computer still needs some working out. It's tough times upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 11. In a few days more I seriously hope I'm done strongarming it into doing what I want it to do -  instead of me doing what it wants me to do.

Reading of blogs, commenting and hopefully writing will resume soon - I hope.

Kære læsere, Uglemors  nye, brugte computer volder stadig knuder - det er tough times at gå fra Windows 7 til Windows 11. Derfor vil det nok vare et par dage mere, før hun er færdig med at kæmpe med installationer og få computeren til at gøre so hun ønsker og ikke den anden vej rundt.
Blogging, læsning af blogs og kommentarer vil komme i gang igen snart!

Mandagsdigtet er en blogleg, som Mimi fra Messymimi's Meanderings og jeg har overtaget - midlertidigt håber vi - fra Diane, der slapper af og rejser verden rundt med sin mand. Vi håber hun er parat til at tage over igen, når hun kommer hjem.

Dagens tema er: Kvæder og jeg havde fået en god idé på dansk også, men så skulle jeg lige vande mine nyplantede krydderurter, og ideen forduftede sammen med vandet.

For at kunne fortsætte denne blogleg uden at overanstrenge os selv – vi vil skrive digte og fjolle lidt rundt, ikke rive os i håret over at have glemt at finde nye på stikord - har Mimi og jeg besluttet at vi hægter os på gruppen  365 Days of Drawing Prompts and other Arts. Det er en Facebook-gruppe, der udgiver et stikord til hver dag i året.
     Dette er så det sidste af vores stikord, men bare rolig, stikordene vil stadig være at finde både her og på Mimis blog.

Mimi of Messymimi's Meanderings and I have taken over the hosting duties, mostly the supplying of the prompts - only temporarily we hope - while Diane at On the Border is taking a break for health and relaxation, travelling the world with her husband as far as we can tell.
 
We just hope she's going to take back over once she returns home.

In order to to continue this challenge and not overexert ourselves - we want to write poems and goof around a bit, not spend time pulling out our hairs over forgetting to find new prompts - Mimi and I have decided to latch onto the 365 Days of Drawing Prompts and other Arts group. This is a Facebook group with a prompt for each day of the year.

This is the last prompt by Mimi or me, but no worries, the prompts will still be here and at Mimi's blog.

  I have something more to ask of you: If you read this and the poetry of others via the links, would you please leave a comment.
  Half - if not more - the fun of these challenges is receiving the responses of others.

Today's subject is Quince.

We eat a lot of quince
we've done so ever since
I got my English jam-book.
So every fall
I pick them all
And cook my jam
I follow Pam*
and more quince cheese I cook.

*Pam: The jam book is Pam the Jam's excellent Book of Preserves:
