Notes About The Poem

First appeared in 37 Cents, online MSPS poetry chapter, Sept. 2008

Irresistible Desire

What could be better
when tummy growls,
than a BLT, stacked high

on whole wheat toast
with summer tomato
and fresh, crisp lettuce?

Goes down easy, 
satisfies,
but only for a moment.

Baconish aroma
fills the house, 
sings an irresistible song
which lingers
and lingers,
 . . . . . . lingers.
