Spoons

The you
in me
longs
spoons
in camisoles
naked underneath
while nestling meditations
in fetal position of a time reflecting
the passion oozed from romance novels
on a balmy evening. On a balmy evening
the you in me in truth scans periodicals
looking for the immaculate garage sale
while nurturing the crying baby
eating pureed applesauce
from flying rocket
spoons.

Ah, thank you, Alison and Angel4aKing (Julie)...

I appreciate both of your kind replies. Alison, I'm happy you were delighted and liked the shape, and, yes, Julie, of course you have my permission. It would be an honor to have you share it. Thank you's, again, to both.

I did send it as a card but it did not stay in the shape of a spoon... I wonder if that could be fixed?

Hey, Julie...

Yeah, you'll have to do a bit of coding to make it work, but here's how it's done...

In the text of the poem, place < center> before the first "spoons" in the title of the poem and < /center> after the last "spoons" at the end of the poem (be sure to move the "<" over one space to the right).
