Time drips in sensual decay as
I ponder beneath cerulean sky,
breathing in scent of grenadine
and mint. I bid myself focus on
what lay ahead, but oh taste of
guacamole grilled cheese spoke
otherwise.
Asudden, wind blew, as though
offering a kiss. I remind myself
to cherish salad days that there
is (plenty) of time to amend my
ways.

Thank you so much, Magaly 😀 so glad you liked it ❤️

The snake in the glass is this tempting mood-to quench not in a downward burning bower but a bite of guacamole. Amen.
Thank you so much, Brendan 😊 so glad you liked it ❤
Ah, the images you create in the reader’s mind.
“I ponder beneath cerulean sky,/breathing in scent of grenadine/and mint”: That, for me, is the focal point of the verse.
Thank you so much, Anmol 😊 so glad you liked it ❤
“Plenty of time to amend my ways” – so every reluctant dieter says when they’ve slipped off the wagon. 😀 As someone trying to banish some unwanted baggage, I couldn’t help but giggle and nod at this perspective on the Devil card. We humans are quite clever at rationalizing away our excesses.
LOL❤ love your perspective here, Rommy 😊 and I absolutely agree! So glad you liked it❤
I really like that opening line!
Thank you so much, MZ 😊 so glad you liked it ❤

Love “cherish salad days” I think we miss the glory in a moment because we don’t take the time to embrace it.
Definitely❤ thanks for stopping by, Susie 😊
This is certainly a good defense against any devil passing by.
Thank you so much, Kerry 😀 so glad you liked it ❤️
When I was younger “Salad Days” was a piece of cake; as I get older its so hard, I want to eat whatever I feel like , even though my aging metabolism shouldn’t
Good Luck with salad days
much love…
Thank you so much, Gillena 🙂 so good to see you ❤️
Wonders what a nice salad can do for one. Guacamole does sound good with most cheeses I can think of.

Thank you so much, Rosemary 😀 so good to see you ❤️
All I can think of is “ADD Guac to my grilled cheese!” Sounds amazing. Will try it tomorrow.
The poem, I’m sure has a deeper meaning – but I’m a bit side tracked 🙂
Awwww!❤ Thank you so much, Margaret 😊 so glad you enjoyed it!❤
