Secret

sshhhh
he says
whispering
satisfying
and delectable
the way he says my name
delicious and intimate
like the perfect meal prepared by
a world class chef--memorable, but
without a single, irksome calorie

*This is a reverse countdown, (or "count-up"), poem. Those of you who read my blogs may remember my countdown poem from a couple of weeks ago. It was called Fraternity. The above poem is the same concept, just in reverse. Instead of starting with ten syllables, the writer starts with one. So, line one has one syllable, line two has two syllables, etc. Countdown and reverse countdown poems are always ten lines long. Line ten in the above poem contains ten syllables. In Fraternity, my countdown poem, line ten contained one syllable.

Have a wonderful day, Bloggers!
