Greg Stanley Poet Sijo

Spin For a Kiss

The empty bottle spins, round-and-round, its long neck beckons me,   
To the flowers in full bloom releasing their scent of sweet nectar,    
The rose I kiss; and I have tasted love for the first time.

Rhonda Johnson-Saunders January 31, 2012 at 2:16 PM Ohhh! Good one!! Spin the bottle is not a good memory for me. Let's just say I kissed a couple of frogs before I found my prince. Sounds like a sweet memory for you!! Blessings, Rhonda Greg Stanley January 31, 2012 at 2:38 PM Was my first kiss - and won a kissing contest (for length of kiss) 45 min. or something... ha ha... crazy times
