Oh sweet, luscious strawberry, <br />I am utterly infatuated with thee. <br />You are so sweet, so juicy, and so nice. <br />Every morsel of strawberry, <br />Is like a birthday party for my tongue. <br />Bursting with flavor, <br />Exploding with juices. <br />Oh marvelous strawberry, <br />You are a delicacy. <br />Too scrumptious, too succulent, <br />To sit out on the table. <br />But, oh heavenly strawberry, <br />You are too gorgeous <br />To be hidden in the refrigerator. <br />Bright red, with little green hats, <br />Sparkled with light. <br />Rightfully heart-shaped, <br />You fill my heart with fruition. <br />Biting into the crisp, quiet fruit, <br />Strawberry, I savor thee. <br />You are the song <br />That my body dances to. <br />Oh delightful strawberry, <br />If I could, I would marry you. <br /> <br />I’m sorry strawberry, <br />For crushing you, <br />For blending you. <br />But you are oh so delicious, <br />To suck up. <br />Smooth, sweet goodness filling my mouth. <br />Spreading over my anxious tongue, <br />Sharing yourself with each bud, <br />Utterly enjoyed by all.<br /><br />Scott Kollodge<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ode-to-strawberry/
