Baby
you are the pineapple
in a fruit medley
packed with kumquats
and dumb twats
with prepackaged eyes.
You are old-fashioned sass
and frass
with herb laden
licorice lips
that I can still taste
late
the morning after.
You fresh squeeze me
like juice;
you savor the pulp and pith.
Baby
you are my low, low,
easy road
to the natural.
A Flipside poem.

How sweet. The "sass" and "frass," the line "You fresh squeeze me" are all lovely.
Just love that last stanza, MZ!
packed with kumquats

and this just gets better as it goes along mz....
Ha ha! That was awesome. :) You are packed with personality, girl. LOVED the Barry White opening.
Even with something so lighthearted and fun, you go and throw in a sneaky line that's deep and thought-provoking: "with prepackaged eyes"
This person's flavor clearly stands out amongst the bland and cookie-cutter.
I love this section:
"licorice lips
that I can still taste
late
the morning after.
You fresh squeeze me
like juice;
you savor the pulp and pith"
Someone who can savor the pith is definitely a keeper.
I love that you can make this so steamy with nary a steamy word. It didn't hurt that you set the tone with your title. ;)
LOVE. Can totally hear him reading/singing this. :)
Wellll, I don't know I don't know I don't know why....I can't get enough of your poems, babe!
Barry aside, I love that last stanza. That's just sweet as molasses.
How low can you go--on the low road, pretty low, but you gotta go for the glow...baby....(lord--now it's in my subconscious, that fat fuzzy voice...)This is indeed sweet, (except for maybe the prepackaged eyes.)Every time I read you you get better, which doesn't seem possible, but there you are.
I am smiling. This makes it so :). Very nice.
so...u said twats. lmao
There are some terrific phrases in this. You make me chuckle.
You are cracking me up. Thanks for the laugh! I forget every single time to tell you how much I love the name of your blog. There, I've remembered.
:)
HA!
LMFAO!
now i'm going to be hearing Barry White the rest of the night!
