Smells dissolve into tastes,yet no spoon to sauce;just imagining is enough. Onion, tears of onion,burning cloves of garlic,lingerie for nude beans. Smell and taste like touchSensuous food strokesErotica of taste, like breath on skin. Orgasm of spices,so reptilian brain-like,the way smell-taste feels. We eat so fast, we forget… Stew boiling over fire,masking Girl Scout desires.Some-mores […]
Poetry Corner: Serenity
On the other side is serenity. I am a tree, growing by rings of the year,losing a branch or twig now and then,being bent and creaked by the wind. But inside, deeply under scratchy bark,my sap flows silently in the darkto every twig and leaf, flower and fruit. It takes time to find serenity’s root.Time […]

Then yellow, shining cheery,tries to wither the green.Could put my hands in the greengrass wrapped around my toes. Can you tell orange’s not a fav?Skipped it in the rainbow, I did.Never been sure […]
Poetry Corner: Looking Glass Country
Alice, today, throughlooking glass, darkly. Vision of you, there,back of branches, lightly. Running toward that,swiftly moving away. Forest closes in,or maybe expands. Yearning leaves streakson veins of old kisses. Bowed and turned,soul whispers reflection. Feel a light embracefrom behind the mirror. ©2011 Joanne Sprott
Poetry Corner: Forgiveness
The longer I live,the more I give.The more I forgive,the happier I live. A longevity of giving;a giving for-ness of living.A love remembered;a mistake forgotten. Why loss in life?Why will to live?Why, this meanslife is to forgive. Loss is the deal.Meditate on memory.Fill in with love.Nowhere else to bewhen life is a flood. © 2012 […]
