Strawberry Erotica - Catherine Jones

poem read by Timothy Arliss OBrien

Strawberry Erotica
Catherine Jones

Freshly washed luscious strawberries
sprawled daringly on the enticing platter.

Each last drop from every

Berry forsaken by the

Sensuous plate underneath the curvaceous bowl.

Each berry ripened to perfection, salivating to

Be sampled for their own

Unique supple sweetness.

Satisfying the most

Seasoned of palettes,

Both sensually pleasing

And to the tastebuds

Equally engorged in this

Erotic presentation.

A honeymoon to tease

And reawaken the most

Aged of palettes.

A sneak peek of younger

More fertile days, full of

Sultry dreams and expression.

Censored thoughts of

Immeasurable never-ending bliss, that only a

Strawberry can provoke.
