The Mag 120

THE MAG

Vegetable man?  Or woman?  How can you tell?


Le Veritable Amour



There it was again
sweet woodsy, whispering breeze.
On
Warm air, and salty sea
wistfully teasing.
                                                                
Busy bees
buzzed incessantly,

overhead again.
A million cicadas screamed.
this day

A chilly wait for making
moment spectacles,

of branches sprouting
luscious flowers blooming,

you were born
with sticks and stems trembling
and deafening roots squatting.

Every delicious, edible delight
all intoxicatingly romantic

and incredibly loved
we begin playing chase again.

Funny! Looks like it took a ton of work.

If I had this chap chasing me, I'd run like billy-o!

A true piece of art Karen, both the fruit and veg arrangement and the writing, well done!

Interesting and delicious poem on love.

Lovely chase around the garden ~ The underlying sensuality is great as well ~

I immediately though it was male-
and by the end of your poem I thought baby!

Cathy said...

Well, there is something deliciously heathen about it. Me gusta. :)

yumyum!
looks like a man to me...i can see bushy eyebrows and a mustache (hmmm, guess that doesn't always mean it's a man though)...
