Ripe on the branch I'll spy, depriving from a bee, the sweetest peach for me! I baked a golden pie, and from the hives, deny the bounty of the trees! One bite of luscious bliss, with sun still warm within. Sweet juice drips down my chin. I'm stung by summer's kiss. A moment such as this must be a mortal sin! Temptation wins the game when devil calls my name! ---------------------------------------------------- 8/17/15 For Hexsonnetta Contest Resubmitted for Contest: Favorite poem for August 2015

Oh Carrie, this one was so cute. My favorite parts were the title (such a clever play on words) and the ending couplet! Also the way you described the juice dripping from the chin! Congrats in my contest
