Coral and Limestone**

You can take the country out of me, but the essence of acid lime runs through my veins like an indelible mark of my heritage. Growing up on the island was a unique blessing, where the roots of kinship ran deep and everyone seemed connected by an invisible thread. It was a place

Premium Memberlime faerie and her cousin lucy lemon

Lithe lime faerie was a cousin to Lucy Lemon.
They were both young girls, only six or seven.
Flying in tandem, showing the garden their scents.
The were both lovely, most said heaven-sent.

Replaced

? What's the cost of having a place, 
           we all are in a race ??
      Trying to be the best, 
      and stand out from the rest. 
  No one cares about our

Premium MemberSweet Lime

These little swiss cake
Are simply sublime.
I like them glazed.
And eat some at night.
They are my faves.
A pastry delight.

So, I weighed one eighty.
And lately passed two oh-five.
Though I'm mostly bloated.
By hydrogenous sweet lime.

Premium MemberCranberry Confessions

If I can be honest 
I must cranberry confess
I really don’t want it
No longer need your sex

I don’t mean you 
Are invaluable to me
Just mean I don’t want 
All that huffing and puffing 

I giggle sometimes 
At myself for lemon lime
Is the taste of the sexless
And it is still good to eat
Between the sheets of

Premium MemberHot girl summer

Our hot girl summer rolls on - like lava downhill or male models doing - anything.
We’re in Athens, Georgia, yes, it’s hotter elsewhere - but you can die in the sun - is this really a competition?

Fashionistas and trendsetters are adorning themselves in fluorescent lime green this summer. Making it the must-have statement color for

Premium MemberLime Bread And Butter

Gluttonous screen helpings of
‘A long time ago in a galaxy far far away..’

Lime boombox with Madonna singing,
‘Only when I’m dancin’ can I feel this free.’

Bread and butter of a pig tail soul;
My base bricks, these memories built me;

Grew up drawn to creativity,
carved my yearbook space unequivocally;

Walked with sweet n’ sour hooligans 
who chose to live

The Ghosts of Lime Kiln Road

Summon your demons, devils, and wraiths,
visit moments of hurt and loss.
Replay what might have been, wrestle with regrets,
Do “if only” scenes haunt your past?

I follow the faint ribbon of sand on Mackinac Island,
lined with sugar maple tree, aspen and lilac.
Wild lilly of the valley, its fragrant musk, from dusk to dawn,
clings to lichen and headstone,

Premium MemberJasmines Kiss

Lotus lips of lilac shade
planting pink fragrant kisses on my face
Kisses from auntie Jasmine in action today
Her love lives beyond the grave

Kisses from Jasmine in heaven yet here in spirit
Lime is her laughing kinfolk can you hear it?
She was a survivor of many things
Cancer abuse heart ache broken dreams

Now she’s earned her angel wings
She watches

Half cut, squeeze it tightly
Pulp, juice separate.

Premium MemberKey Lime Pie

Key lime pie is not considered nutritious
The pie is greenish and sometimes tart,
Free in some restaurants, it’s so delicious
Be sure to try before the Keys you depart.

Try it with a dab of fresh whipped cream
Buy one to take home for a late-night treat,
Pry yourself away from the second stream
Guy, we’ll have another when again we

Premium MemberMy Darling Lime

Oh, my sweet wife, tell me is it a crime
That I so humbly adore the juicy green lime?
They’re seductively tart and truly sublime
A taste of heaven when in their prime
Yes, I’d leave you for them anytime
They’ve been my scrumptious soulmates throughout time
I know not the reason, I know not the rhyme
I’m but a prisoner of
