Isadora Gruye from the Imaginary Garden with Real Toads challenges poets to explore their guilty pleasure for the shivery delectation of fellow bloggers. Here goes
Sweet Nothings are my Guilty Pleasure,
soft, succulent and in good measure
I drip them in reluctant ears.
It soothes their minds and dulls their fears.
My honeyed tones excite the Birds
and Bees. They fall for sugared words
Alright for you out there to scoff -
They help me get the wrappers off.

In view of Caddoc's recent guilt trip about unwrapping things, I wish you'd have a word in his ear to explain how your variety of sweet nothings may have a much better outcome... I don't think my ears would be reluctant to listen...but of course, I couldn't guarantee anything...
ReplyDeleteWell, now... such information is duly noted for later reference.
ReplyDelete.... so that's how it's done!!!
ReplyDeletemade me laugh. :)
ReplyDeletethanks for stopping by and leaving a comment on my anti-word ver. rant. :)
Clever, clever. Truly a second level confession, a bit elevated from Henry Miller. Thanks for posting and Viva la
ReplyDeleteyes, please!
ReplyDeleteNo shame in doing what it takes to get some help, I say--and sounds like it was part of the whole pleasure thing, so it's win-win.
ReplyDeleteI have read all the entries so far (to 20.00 Thursday 22nd UK time) and there isn't one Guilty Pleasure that's worth being ashamed of! Does nobody watch porn on the Internet - something juicy like that? What blameless lives we've all led!
ReplyDeleteHang on a minute, Doc! Have you read Ada Trellis's contribution?
DeleteTrellissimo! Fancy directing the good Doctor's attention to a lady's unmentionables! How could you?!
DeleteI may have to set Caddoc on you to defend my honour.
...I think I expect nothing less from most men when it comes to unwrapping. Some are just a bit more "eloquent" than others :)
ReplyDeleteGerremoff! - falls short of your expectations, eh? Good thing too!
DeleteWell,you sure don't sound very guilt ridden!
