Savor
Nestled in a bed of fragrant jasmine rice
Cocooned on virgin essence of coconut
Drizzled with purity of lime
Sprigs of tender cilantro shoots
Peeking shyly
From
Citadels of carrots lavishly slathered
With pert shivers of shallots
Wisps of intimate clove flirt
Teasingly
With
Allusions of feisty cayenne
Sea salt cascades in the faintest of undulations
Surprises of saporous broccoli florets slip in at the
very
last
moment
Melding
Into
Lingual
Intoxication...

I am deeply humbled by you, Jack Tex, luv :-*.
Such homage you pay me pillages me and lays me vulnerable before thee.
You cause me consternation: I am honored beyond all measure yet what you say...it seems too much. However, I know you well enough by now to know you never say what you do not truly mean...
Thus, I must say again: I am deeply humbled by you, luv. You have pillaged me and I lay vulnerable before you.

I think we would all like to see you do a video poem. But then again I think we all respect your right to hide yourself if you so wish. "Savor" is such a well seen and ingenious manipulation of taste buds and visual temptations combined with your incomparable audio, of course, that we become helplessly drunk, in a sense, on you and your words.

Thank you, candycrier, luv :-* ~
Hmmm...
Your comment is such an intricately engineered feat of perfectly balanced prose complimenting me in such a myriad of ways that I am overwhelmed by such generous lauding. Thank you so much, candycrier, luv. You are a flatterer of the first water.

Wonderful assembly of words creating imagery
so vivid the reader nearly can taste it.
Well done, Savaja.
The best compliment I can think of is simply this,
"Damn! I'm hungry!" :)

You do me a tremendous honor, Snowcrystal, luv :-* ~ de brignac!
Let's have an evening of fine food, champagne, friends, conversation.
I've always fancied a salon in the old French manner...

Brings to mind my mother in the kitchen, making something terrific and watching the Frugal Gourmet on PBS.

Wow Savaja! I love that you see the sensuality in cooking. Your reading of the piece is exquisite :) My favorite passages and intonations:
"peeking shyly"
"With pert shivers of shallots"
"feisty cayenne"
"Surprises of saporous broccoli florets slip in" What a fabulous line! It conjures and image of the broccoli slipping into a luxurious bath surrounded by candles :)
What a sexy word, saporous! I am pleasantly satisfied with yet another of your feasts.

Thank you Gahddess_Worship, luv :-* !
Cooking is one of the most sensual things we can do, I believe. So many of our senses are involved in the process. But, I am rather a madwoman in the kitchen, no dish is ever precisely the same because I throw things together. It is such a challenge for me to follow recipes; I invariably change something. :-p
Thank you, luv, for your kind words and generous accolades! :-*
