Quickie Dessert Poem by Simona Terron

Quickie Dessert

Rating: 4.5


Red strawberries, brown sugar, one hour

Bought hurriedly at a traffic light, released from their plastic prisons, they bled slowly in the bowl, their plump ripeness giving way to the magic of the coarse yet velvety brown sugar

Macerated, what a delicious word, they oozed their goodness until they lay there helplessly in a slurry of divine brown sauce

Shocked further into submission with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, crimson was soon eviscerated into deep scarlet

Thank you for dying dear strawberries, so that I might taste heaven
