Strawberry .....

sweet;

soft;

cinnamon crimson

sitting in a coffeehouse

the tantalizing aroma of fresh coffee will taunt her as she writes on a napkin

hair in bun

dress-down

a cup of coffee

an ordinary joe

a man

sees gloom, in her storytelling eyes

how to make conversation?

"I like your blues eyes."

jelly toast and dark roast

buttered uttered balladry poesy

toothsome breakfast words

friendly sips of fervor

feverish

pouring rain;

pouring feelings;

dripping strain

in the form of precipitation perspiration

naked truth;

naked trust;

naked must;

she's a teacup girl, you can hold her eggshell ego in your palm

calm

she's laughter, guffaw and raw

she's cute, twee and sweet

she's every ability capable of catastrophe jealousy jalousie jade

unafraid

she can be a tectonic plate girl

a train wreck looking for equanimity tranquility

she wears berry juice as makeup

the sun is her alarm

the birds are her wake-up call
