An Amuse Bouche

by  • 

An Amuse Bouche

Come flirt with me
So we might spread
Our wings and fly
To exotic places calling

Come and kiss me gently
Your lips I want to taste
An amuse bouche
To tease me playfully

and whet my appetite
for what is yet to come

    Yesssss! I realized after already posting the prompt that I had missed this fabulous phrase as a starter, and was hoping somebody would get there on their own. I love it! This is delicious.

      Well didn’t miss anything really. Your post was fabulous and I loved everything you included as well as the graphics/videos. I just happened to remember the expression and I thought it went well with your prompt. Thanks so much, it was a fun one! ☺️💕

    I really liked this. And the line break of

    “So we might spread
    Our wings and fly”

    was so well done.
