Meringue

After quite a long while, that whipped cream kiss
but a dollop off the shoulder
In a feather touch that tensed her back
as she followed its path, to peaks kept colder
A requirement to simmer summer's reckon in
A touch lighter than air

Bright white, the apron's starch
and attentively forward cover
Berries burst in juicy streams,
fold one upon another
Peaks, that flaunt the sweetness of the vine,
and now are mine to savor
Summer tasted more than once
in gladdened favor

This sigh, a simple lullaby
In time for summer's simmer,
the rhythm of the porch swing
The taste of your smile,
and every moment worthwhile
spent in the kitchen.

I may risk your displeasure Miss Harris, but having such fondness for meringue, as do many of your readers I suspect, I prefer to read it as a long, engaging metaphor. Lovely to read...lovely to taste.

More feelings and fewer words please

This poem is rich with descriptive passages . . . My favorite is . . .

"In a feather touch that tensed her back"
