Welcome back to the odd and whimsical poetery of the Peeps related to holidaze! Let’s investigate what today is, because we need all the holidaze we can celebrate, right?
Lately, every day seems to be many holidays! Which is good, because we all have our favorites. So I will pick out one, and you can click the link above if you’re curious about the rest. This is an Open Thread, so please feel free to add your favorite pomes and photoes and holidaze for today in the Comments!
Today is National Cherry Dessert Day!
Cherries, the fruit of the beautiful and fragrant cherry tree, range from sweet to sour and have many culinary uses.

cherry plum blossom in an old tin jug
by Lesbia Harford
Cherry plum blossom in an old tin jug —
Oh, it is lovely, beautiful and fair,
With sun on it and little shadows mixed
All in among the fragrant wonder there.
Cherry plum blossom on the workroom bench
Where we can see it all our working hours.
In all my garden days of ladyhood,
I never met girls who so loved sweet flowers.
[Lesbia (Keogh) Harford (1891-1927) was born with heart valve defects, but did not let that stop her political activism. Read her interesting biography here!]
