Bountiful Berries Bring Bliss

Beauti-licous boy -
brawny, blushing blackberry -
Banquet for big bites!
Bare yourself; bedevil me.
Be bad, Boy, and make me beg.

Rare raspberry rogue -
recipe I can’t resist;
revelry’s repast!
Rattle me. . . Then ravish me.
Rambunctious rascal. . . . No regrets!

Gentlemanly grape -
Berry that grows gracefully -
Good for the gourmet!
Generous, gallant, gentile.
Gaze on me, and go. . . . .slowly.

My sweet seducer,
I savor strawberry scent
sinful. . . sensuous.
Shiver me beneath silk sheets.
As you saunter off, I’ll sigh.

Bodacious berries -
from blue to boysenberry;
from bashful to bold,
and from breakfast to bed time. . . 
Bountiful berries bring bliss.

For Linda Marie's "Luscious Love LLingers" Alliteration Contest

Hon, I'm really not impatient. People just seem to write the limericks quickly. I usually wait at least 24 hours after one of my contests closes before posting winners. Now it will probably take longer because there are more entries required. It took me a lot of time to write my couplet for the dog contest. I tried to write a limerick for it first, but it was lame. Enjoy that waterpark pass! I can't go swimming now because the lesion was removed Monday, so I'm a bit jealous! Love you, CD

Regarding your blog comment, Andrea, contests will close when the maximum number of entries (35 in this case) is reached. It can then be locked and judged. There is no rush to judge it. I only posted the blog because entries were coming in quickly and I wanted to keep members updated. I've had 28 entries in two days. Love, Carolyn

Excellent, Andrea! I think she will like the assortment of berries and they way you relate them to romance. The alliteration seems right on target. It doesn't come easy to me, but it is a fun form to employ. Good luck in the contest. Love, Carolyn
