I love Olives and I think these days most Asians love it too and use it for their cooking and stuff. 
Thank you very much for your kind comment

I am a poet-dreamer who is inspired to practice your craft
liked the olive refernce. I found that many Asian people do not enjoy olives, unless the taste was developed over time. Of course ancient Olive Trees are as majestic as California Redwood Sequoias. Thanks for your work!

An interesting poem, indeed! We should all try to savor life to the best of our abilities, and you have pointed that out beautifully.

A quite interesting poem. My Grandfather Jelinek from Czechoslovakia was a part of the R. Jelinek family that began the Plum Brandy (Slivovitz). Grandpa had his own grape arbor and made his own wine. He died when I was five so I never got to taste what he made.

Good to concentrate on the taste of life rather than the flavor sometimes well written.

I think you tend to savour the better side of all things Shobana. Interesting poetry, quite different.

I think one slips from one to the other from sweet to sour. I love the way you have written here and you express the subject so beautifully. That's the girl I love.
