Sweetest

Summer is sweet
sugary salty swinging extremes
summertime is melancholy and cheerful lemonade

blissful caramelized days
heat dripping and melting on my skin

but it isn’t the sweetest.

Winter is sweet

frozen shards of peppermint
winter is my breath in spiced clouds
chilled gingerbread worlds
waterfalls of chocolate lazily in motion

but it isn’t the sweetest.

Spring is sweet
flavorful cream icing
spring is my heart as a lollipop
lightly sweetened tea
delicious streams of consciousness

but it isn’t the sweetest.

Fall is sweet
breezy vanilla hopes
fall is cinnamon smiles and apple daydreams
pumpkin override
leaf piles completing piquant days

but it isn’t the sweetest.


The sweetest season
savory whimsical sincerity
the season of exquisitely crafted wit
tasting love in all her honeyed glory
aromatic laughter of youth

the sweetest season
is the season of you.
