Three Tastes
Effervescent sweetness
Spirited pinkness
Doing the bubble-shuffle
Across the wobbly tiled floor
Of tastebuds
Chewy umami succulence
Flaming, evocotive blissfulness
Doing the zip-zap two-step
Down the smoothly undulating
Esophageal hallway.
White, whipped fluffiness
Silken, saccharine luxuriance
Melt, melt, melting into a waltz
Across the gates
Of lips.
This is an installment of my endeavor to write a Poem-A-Day in honor of April being National Poetry Month. If you want to take part in the annual celebration of all thing poetry consider
signing up to receive a poem each day in your email courtesy of the Academy of American Poets. Or take
participate in Poem-in-Your-Pocket Day on April 27th. There are also loads of
Poem-a-Day challenges on the local and
international level to inspire creativity and hone the art of poetry writing.
This one so far is my absolute favourite!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It was a cool way to think about my food for the day. A lot going on there if I stop to be mindful of it!
