Peach Poem Recipe November Contest
I envy the prolific poet
who can whip up a delicious dish
of twenty lines (or less)
and present it
like a perfect peach pie;
warm, topped with ice cream.
Words woven in an intricate lattice;
buttery, they melt on my tongue;
taste buds tantalized by the
succulent, brown-sugared mound
of fresh fruit imagery, juicy
and lovingly intermingled
with spicy consonance & assonance;
the phrases sliced at a slant,
until my senses succumb to the glory
of its peachy perfection.
I savor a sliver, let it slip slowly down;
ask for seconds.

About Me
About me
I consider myself a novice, though I have written on-and-off for years. When I am "in the zone," the words flow, but often I find myself overwhelmed by life and struggle to keep a grasp on my own life, identity, and inner light.
