Today, it was my turn at RT to come up with a poetry prompt. I chose a slippery slope, Food Porn.
Now, now....it isn't quite like that, but it could be, lol. One has to write a poem, about food. I also asked that they attach a memory. I think a lot of our memories are stirred, by our senses. Food Porn is a site with amazing photos and recipes. Yes, it could be a sensory over load, but it also can be sweet or a salty memory attached to one bite. A taste that transports you to another time, maybe dimension. No not the Twilight Zone, but the "Tastebud Zone", lol
See if you can guess what I am describing, I will share a photo at the end of this post. No cheating, do not peek....
Grown up S'mores look amazing, check these out. I now want a pineapple, coconut marshmallow, white chocolate and chocolate graham cracker or maybe a gingerbread marshmallow...the combos are now endless! These look good, too. How about these... or what about those!

Residual heat caresses
the sweet dreams of youth
I hug my plump, fluffy cloud
wishing it was you
smouldering fire burns
I watch you
you tease me
your playfulness excites
my attention
I am smitten
The warmth of your kiss
teases my tongue
the dance of your
sweetness awakens my soul
(don't peek)
you are oozing, smouldering passion
I want another kiss
my memory snuggles
as I dream of you
blanketed in a light tan comforter
I melt in your embrace
your outer shell crumbles
I remove this layer
and watch your white heat
flame again
the sensually river of you
seductively
blurred
bubbling sweetness
evades
my senses
I'm near a flickering flame of embers
at camp
stars twinkle as the moon rises
and winks at me
your elixir conjures
a love potion
your allure
is
your dark side
it
surprises me as
we look for the Milky Way
a beguiling dance
caught between
a trinity of charred smiles

Did you guess right?!
Summer camp was my memory stirred. I had a crush on this boy. Our camp had invited the boy's camp over to make S'mores. I was the tween age of awkwardness. He was so cute, I thought he liked me, till he threw a melted marshmallow in my hair. Yes, those fun memories of getting your braids pulled, your bra snapped and being shoved and slugged. ;D What are your S'more memories?

Off to ride my bike and later maybe I can have a S'more ;D
I took a break, when we were doing the home improvement stuff in the FROG. Time to leap to it!

Truly. I could say Underprivileged Childhoods R Us, except there was a wonderful lake, and fabulous hiking, and now there are a gazillion tourists ruining the whole area.
Sigh.
I've never tasted S'mores, either.
Great poem, Ella. Makes me hungry.

Such a great write and such a fun prompt, thank you again, Ella!!
In the meantime...

Now, I need to go ride my bike too before just the thought of those sweets sits on my hips.
LOL! I was thinking roasted marshmallow all the way down the line, until I got to "milky way" and then I thought, could it be? Yes, it was a s'mores. :))
Great poem!
Candilynn-I love your name! I figured the pillow would tip everybody off~ Nice to meet you! :D
Tyrean-I bet your recipes are amazing! Care to share?! :D I have been tempted to make my own. I have food allergies, too. Thanks for the tip.. Yes, I know what you mean. One bite per 3 mls, lol okay one bite, 1 mile...
Thank you!
Vivinfrance-What is a damper? I'm going to have to look this one up...Is it good?! Do you love it?
Thank you :D

I don't have any smore memories as I I never really ate them. I think I had one, once, but I am a total heathen and do not like marshmallows. Food porn for me is chocolate desserts. Specifically Hershey's Dark Chocolate creme pie. I had this at my mom's one Halloween and OMG!!!
Susie-I love what you did and so can relate! Great job... :D
