Her Taste

My single-serving wait, That flavor missing, A sugary rush of femine. Candy hard, and undesolved, I salivate, on a smoky. Bake, for a sleepy fullness. Craving awake, to Late-night in snak, Wishing, a telling tea at sunrise. With my fruity-logic, Time's bagged lunch, This returns starvation. Left-overs interrupted, A cynical side dish, Questioning my expiration. In past pallets, To reality diet plan, This hunger unending.

Jonathon, I love the irony in this cleverly-worded poem: "sugary rush of famine," "sleepy fullness," "cynical side dish." Questioning your own expiration is a thought-provoking line. You hit upon the sense and sensuality of taste in "Her Taste." Great work! You can send me a soup mail by clicking on the envelope next to my name at the top of any of my poems. I think you have a unique, creative style; I love it! Carolyn
