Very clever use of words married to an appropriate visualization. You could be a writer. LOL. You did a very fine job with this and I am suitably impressed. As a matter of fact I am more than a little bit jealous.

I love that you saw this image in the tree. The eyes are multi-legs are obvious. To add fruit is genius. Octi-pie.
Very cute. Best line ( in my opinion) :rises from the orchard depths.

Hi Bill. Fantastic write with clever topic. Poem builds on itself with each succeeding line to an amusing ending. Stroke of genius with "octo-pie." The tree image is amazing. Marilyn

That definitely looks like an octopus. What an interesting tree. Trees are my passion. I see so many thing in them.

I think I'll pass on the Octopie. It may be rubbery. LOL

Love it-very inventive and oh my, that certainly is an octopus. Great new subject for a series. Most excellent last line that really sums up nicely.

Octo Pie Bill?
Ever try eating Octopus?
The only thing that fascinates me about the subject ifs that James Bond movie?
With the female character named "Octopussy!"
Could trade my four cats for a piece of that pie!

Hi Bill, I haven't got a clue what a "pranka" poem is but I do like the presentation and the words brought together to give this reader a clear picture in her head of what you are talking about and it's kinda funny! WEll done and good luck. xoxo Kiwi

I like the tanka format (5-7-5-7-7), but it gets ripped by purists. So, I thought the idea of a prank and the tanka form would allow me to proceed doing whatever I felt like with my own model. Thanks for giving this a look.
