Paul Callus Poet tristich

Notes About The Poem

 

A Taste of Summer

a fresh thirst quencher
sliced watermelon in red
alluring beauty

mulberry picking
romantic stolen kisses
dark purple dyed lips

crushed grape juice slithers
into her desirous mouth
she feasts avidly

overflowing bowl
red strawberries and ice-cream
summer temptation
