Reading this poem caused me to smile and giggle. I can just imagine that peekaboo game. On ALMOST the same note, my husband came in from a walk the other night, he walks after dark because of the Texas heat, and told me he saw a gray fox in our peach trees. I didn't believe him. Guess what? I googled it, grey fox can climb trees. Red fox cannot.

This really is a Summer haiku with those lovely sunshine plums peeping out! A delightful verse which instantly warms and brings a smile. Love the personification of the plums. Only wish the summer solstice wasn't happening quite so soon. Still cold and not even a glimpse of summer here yet in the UK:( Take care Debbie

They really can be hard to see at times amid the foliage. Striking colors and beautiful words and presentation, make this a very pleasing read. I love plums, both yellow and red.

Thank you for sharing.

I liked your personification of the yellow plums which are barely visible between the leaves of the plum tree. This gives me a great visual as well as giving me the sense of time if the year.

Hi Gypsy, your poem is filled with vivid imagery. I don't think that I have ever seen a yellow plum. Perhaps, it is a fruit that is more common on the west coast? Your poem is playful, and it has good alliteration. Perfect photo choice. Well done. Xo. M

You really are gifted at writing poetry, especially haiku. I don't know why I bother counting your syllables, since you don't usually use the 5-7-5 format. I enjoyed this poem very much. I don't think I've had a yellow plum before, but they sound great. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

    Classic Haiku is 17 syllables or less. Contemporary is 2 to 4 lines with no extract syllables count but as brief as possible.

    Thank you very much for your excellent review and kind words.
