Notes About The Poem

Berries

What can satiate the soul?
What can surpass love? 
Perhaps that which delights 
the palate with a sweet tooth?
A crunchy crust of pastry
filled with delicious double cream
yellow, fragrant, and luscious, 
and splashed over the crunchy crust
refreshing berries of all kinds,
flavour and texture combined.
Bite into the mystic aroma,
As juice dribbles on the lips,
lick, eat and be satiated on
deliciously fruity raspberries,
blueberries,
strawberries,
blackberries,
covered with honey, 
corn syrup,
plus a dash of sweet yoghurt.
