Miss Strawberry
“Original”
three times ‘round
the slender curves of her figure
conforms to the palms of your hands
and winds between the cracks of your fingers
leaning against your lips with a pucker
she glides across the cushion of your skin
leaving a trail of silken strawberry
accented with a hint of mint
tart yet sweet
like you can taste a rainbow
that glazes your eyes with memories
fading away through time
you will urn for her again
Author notes
The initial concept for “Miss Strawberry” was taken from making a connection between myself and an inanimate object that I’m intimate with. The particular object I chose was a strawberry flavored Skittles chap stick I use frequently. Something about the chap stick gives off a very alluring feeling that, to me, holds somewhat of a seductive connotation, and it has been said to me many times in the past (even by my own mother… scary) that there’s a very sultry air about me, mostly when I speak. So I essentially found it more than appropriate to compare my chap stick and myself like that.
My key goal in the way I wrote the poem, was to not only to give the illusion that the chap stick was an irresistible women (due to my chap stick addiction), but that the lines flowed into the lines before and after each line, giving the poem a sort of run on sentence feel.
