Notes About The Poem

Sponsor: Robert James Liguori, 9/25/2025

Violet Grape Purple Envelope

Popsickle, sticky sweet;
Can he taste the cold
Violet grape separating
From the warm wooden stick?

Her penpal wondered
Such things, as he stared
At the popping-eye purple
Envelope, and could almost
Taste his American treat.

The scent and color of
Her tongue, tantalizing;
Was he too young to be
Fantasizing at sixteen.

The violent violet volition
Of his current position;
He licked his lips as he sealed
hers with a mint green peppermint
Envelope and grinned ear to ear.

Perhaps they will meet one day;
Or will she remain a tasty dream?

David Crandall September 25, 2025 at 8:26 PM I think 16 is a good age for fantasizing! I hope they meet...wait, maybe it's better to remain a fantasy. Fantasies sometimes exceed reality. Kim Rodrigues September 26, 2025 at 7:04 AM Right…lol!
