Plucking Delicious (poem)

Plucking Delicious

Leaning ladders for carnal climb
To seize the fruit that's most divine
This sweetness teased from honeyed peach
Plumpness dangles beyond our reach

Balanced in precarious stoop
To snatch a taste of juicy drupe
Open-mouthed and yearning dribble
Archbacked for a meager nibble

Til handfuls plucked with frenzied glee
Hoarded from our laden tree
Are mingled for a spinning fusion
Twirled on tongues in swirled delusion

Licking flesh and smacking lips
Wasting not a wanton drip
Yesses hiss in guilty pleasure
Mouthed ear to ear for sated measure

(c)Expressions by Christine 8/20/08
