Heart Palpitations

~I’m so romantically inclined Her name is Rosa Marie Ripe as tomato on a vine Voluptuous hips, legs splendidly, reaching always up to hips, you see ~A goddess as a female form Heart’s on fire for juicy tomato Hype of ripe way past standard norm Like an addiction that won’t let go, and whirlwind that just won’t slow ~She sways a ways and I phase The swelling of her melons The cooing of her voice and ways Would cause men to commit felons, have heart eruptions like Saint Helen’s ~Seeing is pleasing to one’s heart My awesome, my sweet enough to eat Stacked like groceries on a cart Heart palpitation's failure at discrete, at seeing all of Rosa, such a treat For and in honor of Francine Roberts And Contest Make Me Swoon

Swooning your way to victory, John! Enjoyed the bit of humor in the lines about committing felons and Mt. Saint Helen. Truly a treat and so well done in the quintain form. You really do have the heart of a romantic. Wishing you success in Francine's contest (but you certainly won't need luck with the quality of this entry). Love, Carolyn
