Moonshine Cherries

Goddess of the Mist

You’ve got those moonshine cherries
burst in my mouth
have ‘em when I need ‘em
make me think of the South

Just like that sparkle in your eye
their moon-time shine
burns a trail of fire
as if by design

All warmth and glow
cherries in a jar
black molasses slow
white lightnin’ from afar

Kickin’ in again
kisses sweet as pie
all my heart’s desire
Honey, that’s no lie

      Thank you, and yes ~ I definitely meant it to 😉

      I like reading these verses out loud - what I usually do with poetry.

      If you don't always want to use MyPoeticSide's default middle-axis line justification, it's possible to work around it, though it's a challenge. Look at my verses to see what you can do with the WordPress text editor - a lot.
