Strawberry pink confections tease
From chintzy china plates where easy,
Full-blown blooms remain undimmed forever.
Whipped-cream topped temptations
Flaunt their sugared swirls
Pinnacled with petals, crystallised.
I nibble, lick, lusciously devine deliciousness and find that
Softness lies beneath in buttery perfection.
My tea-cup runneth over...
