Notes About The Poem

Nette Onclaud, Sense of Taste, 7/30/2025

By the Street Lamp

Lala land by the street lamp -
The lemon and lime raindrops
Land, one by one, on my tongue.
The flavors mix with the storm
And sugar cone; tangy cold
On my lips. Warmer with melt -
The sour savor of colors
And sip of rainwater muse.
