Oh, the of zest in days of summer take a bite these bright lemon bars Preserved in amber, memories of moon and stars yours Please pass your plate to me I'll fill it with tastes you almost forgot Hear the song of that sweet voice? music so rich all ours! Don't you do it.. don't let go the summer w'out lips wet in ripe juices Tango's long tawny legs leave me longing for more Preserved in amber, memories of moon and stars yours

A passionate poem about summer Richard - 'Tango's long tawny legs - leave me longing - for more - you write Romanticism with a sensuous touch. Very well penned, Blessings, Jennifer.

you write SO wonderfully in this style. it reminds me sometimes of the way Armand wrote but he never comes here any more. Very few do romance this well!!

Wonderful write! Loved the line...Please pass your plate to me I'll fill it with tastes you almost forgot... Fill life with forgotten emotions is what came to my mind.

Mystic Rose Rose, Thank you, I really don't want to ever make perfect sense. After the fashion of Coleridge's Or, a vision in a dream. 'Xanadu did Kubla Khan A stately pleasure-dome decree: ~~ Where Alph, the sacred river, ran Through caverns measureless to man Down to a sunless sea. ' -Richard

We are in the grip of a severe winter snap. Your poem took me out of it to dream of balmy summer days. The pie is the cherry on top - a bite size of delights promised.
