Honeysuckle begs Come find me in the thicket Taste my nectar sweet Pick my sweet blossoms Inhale my sweet perfume love Seductions painless Take ivory blossoms To thy lips, drinking, tasting Intoxicating Honeysuckle lips Kissed with dewdrops glistening Amid the woodlands Honeysuckle vines Tentacles reach and entwine For life's purpose cling Honeysuckle grows As honeysuckle strangles Silently to death |

This is beautiful and really draws the reader in. Are you describing a love, perhaps? |

Very sweet but with a surprising twist of lemon at the end! Warm hugs, EA |

Songbird, I was so drawn to this because I have honeysuckle growning in my garden. Yikes, your ending sure surprised me! I loved this, because it did exactly what I think a good poem should do. Great writing. Hugs, Marti |

Thank you all, and yes on the surface it is just honeysuckle, but it is a love story turned fatal. Merely fictional for me. |
