Fruitacious frivolity

~just a scribble~

Dripping maple sap,

the tenebrous trees trap-

Golden gelatinous gin.

In fruity flagons, like hazel ink,

they store their tipsy drink,

making the boundary's red robe

stretch into a globulous globe

Like a barrel of heady ale-

A swollen drop of great detail.

Impregnated with wondrous wines, 

Down it descends like dropped dimes.

The title made me smile, as one who adores frivolity of any kind. And then, you had me at dripping maple sap, which I pour over my waffles nearly every morning. The real stuff. Oh, so enchanted, every line alive with music and movement, the wonders of life being poured out drop by divine drop.

[Gabriel Eden]

Excellent. If you want my two cent though, I think it needs another line. One that rhymes with ale and detail to finish it off.

[Moonie]

Oh, I think it could do with that. But unfortunately, I am not that good at revisiting and editing old poems... Although I would try. It is quite important for any writer to note how a reader felt when he or she read the poem for the first time. If the right lines are missing, I would do my best to fix it. Thank you for visiting, Sam.

I can already imagine the taste of maple. Even your just scribbling, you done a great job making a poem out of dripping maple.

[Moonie]

Thank you! :)
