Notes About The Poem

Sense of taste Poetry Contest- Sponsored by Nette Onclaud

By The Streetlamp

Standing beneath a streetlamp 
At my hometown country fair 
An odor so refreshing 
Was lingering through the air 
Thinking about my sweetheart 
With my hands upon her hips 
And feeling my heart; beating  
From the flavour of her lips
