when the clever wranglings of time
linger softly over the precipice of thought
while coverlet droppings of dew-laden bits
drop like the mellow rumblings of self-taught

touches of a warm hand's brushing
of the finger-strokes of attire
melting like chocolate drippings
o'er the desserts of desire

satisfying the particular palate
as though erudite was slang for tongue

and good taste was to be accrued
and never quite acquired

I also enjoyed these lines, Steaven:

touches of a warm hand's brushing
of the finger-strokes of attire
melting like chocolate drippings
o'er the desserts of desire

and the ending, very good!

Raindance,
Thank you for your kind comments...so glad you not only found the time to read, but also glad that you found it worth your time to do so...appreciate it

Prasad,
Thanks for reading and leaving your thoughts...it is both welcome and appreciated

Dark,
a high compliment, dear sir, for you to qualify this piece as art means a lot to me...thank you for the wonderfully generous statements and certainly pleased to be called 'amigo', amigo

CG,
I am totally surprised, but surely appreciative of your remarks...I do not take them for granted.  Question?  Do you (as I do) live in an area surrounded by bayous? I am a Northerner and am not used to water outside the form of snow or ice.  I believe my dogs could live on crawdads (and that's a whole 'nother story)
