Kim Rodrigues Poet Light Verse

Pumpkin Pie

PUMPKIN PIE

aphrodisiacal arousal, her husband lifts from his chair
seasonal cologne wafts out from the kitchen space
most dangerous, placed, in an outside window
a husband keeps vigil next to the warmth of the pie

no one will steal his slice, he holds the knife

John Gondolf October 24, 2017 at 10:13 AM Very nicely written, Kim. My first impression was that you were talking about his wife and from your comments below, perhaps I was right. John Kim Rodrigues October 24, 2017 at 10:34 AM Right you are, John! Thanks!

Andrea Dietrich October 4, 2017 at 5:45 PM oh, I love that last line. I can just picture him there as if ready to plunge at it with his knife!! Kim Rodrigues October 4, 2017 at 9:13 PM Thank you, Andrea. It is also meant to hint that no one could steal his wife :) ;)
