All day I have been hungry
craving these fresh delights
now spread out before me
such delightful goodness
where to even begin?
these delicate leaves
freshly chosen plucked
dripping with moisture
ripe plump tomatoes
firm, sweet, exploding
with warm tart juices
waiting to meld with
long carrots fresh
firm fleshy root
little garlic bud
popping with flavour
combined with spices
marinating all day
in homemade dressing
full of expectation
hungry anticipation
With all this to enjoy
I think I’d rather
linger here with you
and just nibble slowly
until we are satiated
which may take all night…
robustly tossed salad
Tasty, healthy and oh so delightful to eat
unfetteredbs, I think that’s my favourite comment ever!
Such a sensuous meal…a real mouthgasm
Wonderful imagery!
Thank you
OK can I just say how much I am loving your sensuous playful poems? And can I say it without sounding like a dirty old woman??? Yes yes yes!! Keep em coming! ( I do think they’re lovely.)
Who needs sex when we can just eat this salad!
Certainly the salad could be the main course – but I think you may want this for after…

This gives me a craving for…salad….
I think there might be a connection with this poem and my question about pizza and steak…
You may well be right…
