“That first long secret drink of golden fire, juice of those valleys and of that time, wine of the wild orchards, of russet summer, of plump red apples, and Rosie’s burning cheeks. Never to be forgotten, or ever tasted again.” ‘Cider With Rosie’ by Laurie Lee
The challenge by Laura Bloomsbury of dVerse Poets is to take a piece of prose by Laurie Lee and work it into a poem.
Rouge Desire
I drank of you that secret drink,
that juice of wild valleys
that moistened your ruby lips
of apple red seduction.
I sat with you in those russet hallways
of sun marked scapes of wonder,
and counted cotton candy clouds
that sugared us with joy.
Memories like clocks who ever know
how we loved each other like a
baroque lilting of romantic flow,

Come join the fun of the writing prompt . Here is my response, what’s yours?
Summertime ( Poem)Those giggles and laughter
warms my soul
those innocent jumps
in the puddles
sets the joyful effect
spreads like a pleasurable sensationthose soft fingers laced with the mud
and those carefree guffaws
the park comes alive in the summertime
breathing a new lifewhen the kids with their laughter
and carefree smiles
rolls in the fresh cut green grass
and the apricity
of the warm summer sun
reaches our quaint town.–Megha Sood
