Peppermint Poem by Sam Preve

Unwrapping the clear wrapper
Sliding the striped red stripped oval
Between teeth, tonguing it
Softly and slowly at first,
Then quickening the pace
Of continual strokes in,
Next, up and back into mouth,
Just scrapping the roof a little.
Sighs as it is rubbed into excitement.
Standing tall lifting away from the skin it
Once laid limp by,
Head grows aware as white clears,
Sudden rapture, you exhale,
Refreshingly cool breath.
