Poet's a To Z Aloud No 19

Christina Rossetti 

come by
come buy
                eagerly lap
so exotic
this
    drizzling
            juice
crushed
fruit
      sweet to the tongue
      sound to he eye

come by
come buy
            superbundant
innocence
in
abundance
              aplenty

come by
come buy
            jouissance
succulent
fruit
        crushed
        pulpy
to whet
        your appetite
let
    your
        imagination
                      run
                          wild
effusive
prelapsarian
          with
            delicious desire

come by
come buy
        take it
                    as
                    it
                    comes
