Tantalizing

Listen to poem:
The tastes of spring jostle my taste buds to awaken. To stand up, Get poked out on tongue. Then to flick and lick, from the very tip of my tongue. Savoring the tantalizing, titillating, tit-bit tastes, that spring in season, rendered in bounteous bounty harvests, from berries, fruits, peas, herbs, beans and juices. Premeditated, contemplated and jazz-jammed to razzmatazz improvisations and mantras by scents wafting up the nose. The five senses, five essences, five heavenly scents, dance and jive rejoicing in the tantalizing quintuplet of quintessential tastes, that emerge in spring: sweet, sour, salty, bitter, umami.
