my mouth on you
soft
like a peach
you glisten
trickle from my lips
I bite you
sweet
like an apple
your hushed breath
staccato crisp
you taste
tart as strawberry
succulent
as love’s nectar

I got swept up Viv… blame it on Tess at Willow Manor, and her photo at Magpie Tales of that tart, sweet, juicy apple — with the bite out of it… and then Jill, over at Big Tent Poetry, suggested to us that we, in the spirit of Susan Wooldridge, collect words from our daily life this week… and they are just beginning to pick the fruit in the orchards of Hood River, Oregon (where we visited this week)… and all the fruit barns and stands along the drive were brimming over with their fresh and succulent… and my wife Kathy and I spent a romantic night in a bed & breakfast out there in the Columbia Gorge (strawberries & cream at sunrise)… and well, this poem just happened…

This stuff turns women into puddles. How come guys who write this stuff never crossed my path when I was young?

There may be a lot more of us guys with a romantic side than is realized, its just that we are likely not all writers/poets — and this elevated sentiment is difficult to express face to face, so we just grunt, and it;s sadly left unsaid…

Concise, crisp, beautiful - from the title to the last word. Delicious words!

This line is my favorite, “your hushed breath
staccato crisp”. It is full of visual interest and mentally pulls me deep into contemplation.
