Sitting upon peppercorn rocks
The waves are lapping the shore
Swelling in spearmint splashes
Malting white in cr`eme de sucre

Ale in the fall of bay leaves
Washing ginger sands to silk
In the curry of the sun
Rosemary left nothing
To the imagination

As she dove naked cinnamon
Into the sea
Until everything began
To licorice
Beyond the setting sun

As her heart was clove
with sadness
She watched
From the shore
As the Sugar glazed Moon
Dazzled the Night Thyme
Sage in the foreboding
That this was The last dip
As the breezes grew chili
In the powder of twilight

What an enjoyable tasty treat! I loved the imagery, and could almost smell sweet sage in the air. The sage scent is the one I miss the most, having moved from the coast of So California to Interior Alaska five years ago. Thanks for the sweet memories.

Janet: Thank you! So many wonderful words, I can't say thanks enough.  

Catalinamoon: Thanks so much Sandra. I hope it wasn't too cheesy! lol.

VAS: It was fun to write, except I got hungry.

Marge: Thanks for reading. You always make me smile.  

Krawdad: Very glad you enjoyed this. Thank you!

ramrog: Thank you so much!

midnitesun: Most people don't realize how each place has it's own scent. So glad you caught wind!

Cpat: How about T-bones and sliced garden maters with home made scalloped potatoes, and lemon butter asparagus. Or pintos and cornbread and fried taters? Desert, toffee filled truffles, or peach cobbler! I know food! So glad I spiced you!  

Sue: Thanks lovely lady. Missed you around here!

Sincerely,
Regina

Just the perfect verse to add spice into this day.  Wonderful use of metaphors and I most certainly enjoyed the imagery in this piece.  It flows as smoothly as the softest feathered quill.  Superb!
