Ain't nothin' Like it by Shannon McEwen
Squishy hugs with chubby arms
Long fingers clasped
Around dark strands of hair
Cherub face pressed
Against a weary shoulder
Before rising
Puckered lips
Encircling sticky cheeks
Nine and one half smooches
Before my heart
Melts
Like chocolate
When lips part
“la u”

Posted by Philip F De Pinto on 10/16/09 at 11:29 AM this poem tells it like it is, and that is, that there ain't nothing like it, all the little things you describe here so tenderly. |
