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.

  1. 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...

  6. No 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.

  7. I 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!

    1. Hang on a minute, Doc! Have you read Ada Trellis's contribution?

    2. Trellissimo! Fancy directing the good Doctor's attention to a lady's unmentionables! How could you?!
      I may have to set Caddoc on you to defend my honour.

  8. ...I think I expect nothing less from most men when it comes to unwrapping. Some are just a bit more "eloquent" than others :)

Thank you for stopping by. To make life easier for you I have turned off the new indecipherable and time-wasting verification words. Would you care to "feedback" to Blogger and complain about them, like I did?
