Delectable Pleasure

on a quiet 
Sunday 
afternoon
rain 
playfully 
danced
amidst the 
flourishing 
trees of 
Georgia.

memories 
tempt 
tastebuds
with a 
sweet juicy 
nectar
ripe with 
luscious 
desire.

sensually 
fragrant
arousing 
all senses
slowly, 
delicately, 
sensually.

peaches 
simply are..

the Fruit 
of the 
Gods..

one of 
life's 
delectable 
pleasures,
for the God 
& Goddess 
in all.

Good Morning Miss Lynn. Well now you're talking. I love this Free Verse and it is why Free Verse will always be tops with me because words and thoughts just flow. Everything about this entry is right and well. The theme words formatting and layout. All of it. Here is a toast to "delectable pleasure" and to the Gods and Goddesses everywhere. Well done completely and entirely. Have a wonderful day Lynn.
