A visual treat good enough to eat
A visual treat good enough to eat
Purple red Berries;
Visual treat arranged by hawker,
Tightly nestled in
Card board boxes!
Enticed from afar…
Fresh from cool hills
Of Nainital!
Madam, only for connoisseurs!
After haggling
Settled over a price!
Couldn’t wait to wash,
Held one with tender green stalk
It brushed against my lips,
Sensuously tickling my
Taste buds; ripe for a bite.
Before I knew, the bowl
Was almost, empty.
At the bottom
Sat a small heap
Of stones and stalks;
If they could speak…
I could read in
The silence;
You will pay
For your gluttony!
Appropriately, adjusted my expression
Looking shamefaced and sheepish;
But tell me, who can resist
Such a delectable treat!
Waste time washing
Off grime and pesticides…
That too
On New year's Eve,
I shall take
My chances
Tomorrow
I go on
A detox diet,
I promise,
Got to look svelte
For an upcoming
Poetry fest
In two weeks,
As becomes a poet!
Happy New Year Poetfreaks
Mamta

Nice write...Happy New Year, Mamta
Mamtaji, Your poetry always captures a right moment with right expression..thatnks for this wonderful piece. HAPPY NEW YEAR.
Purple red berries are an antioxidant and really healthy Mamta as I used to demonstrate berries in the stores. They make delicious smoothies in strawberry apple juice and are guilt free snacks. Your poetry fest sounds great and enjoy your favorite things~
wow, I love this.Mamta.Happy New Year
Lovely write Mamta...I know exactly what you mean when you talk of th enticing nature of the purple red berries...Happy New Year to you and yours
Between You & Susan(formerly Jarvis, now Mrs. Mike), you missy's got me foaming at the taste-buds....This is very fine work Mamta...and leave it to a Poetess with passion such as yours to find a way to eloquently mix grime & pesticide with a sensual brush of lips against red berries !!!!!!And getting away with it, no less !!!!!!!!! LOL ! A Very Healthy, Happy, Fruitful & Creative 2012 is my wish 4-you ,young lady & your post-banquet cleansing plans(which my limited but fairly accurate knowledge of chemistry tells me those red-berries should take care of all by themselves)! HaH ! ~FjR~
My mouth is watering , great write! As for the looking svelte hahaha I know the story well in 2 weeks I need to be the same, oops.
