Sweet as starlight,<\/p>\n
perched on a summer rind moon,<\/p>\n
cool golden honey sugar sweetness<\/p>\n
burning bright chill heat on soft cheeks<\/p>\n
snapping cinnamon mint smile,<\/p>\n
bright, precocious, brittle<\/p>\n
plump woman sitting on a Highland dream<\/p>\n
deep bittersweet waters warm and cloyed<\/p>\n
and a toothsome scowl she gives.<\/p>\n
Based, as some would say,<\/p>\n
Sugar-sweet and chocolate-bitter breaking hearts<\/p>\n
with her back and forth logic contained<\/p>\n
in a leaping-hare mind,<\/p>\n
the throaty-laughing woman who dances at sunfall<\/p>\n
poises, pauses, takes in her breath deep.<\/p>\n
Opening lips wide to swallow the moon<\/p>\n
as a Honeybee watches and wonders.<\/p>\n
Such passion can’t be contained, but she will,<\/p>\n
and she will starburst, suddenly, fiercely,<\/p>\n
with a clarity that could outrival diamond yellow,<\/p>\n
J’ai plurie,\u00a0<\/em>I want to say, but in feverish outlandish dreams<\/p>\n the mug hums of golden glitter tea and her smile<\/p>\n an echoing lipstick print, sunshine-gold<\/p>\n and summer-cinnamon dark.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sweet as starlight, perched on a summer rind moon, cool golden honey sugar sweetness burning bright chill heat on soft cheeks snapping cinnamon mint smile, bright, precocious, brittle plump woman sitting on a Highland dream deep bittersweet waters warm and cloyed and a toothsome scowl…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":214,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-128664","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-marathon-poem"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128664","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/214"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=128664"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128664\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":128845,"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128664\/revisions\/128845"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=128664"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=128664"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=128664"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
