Comment from Jay Squires

Excellent

This is sumptuous, K. The thought comes, "something to be tasted, but left to linger on the palate.

The form, a Sonnet, maybe. Seems to delightfully long for that, but I'm no authority. I'm not one of the poetry police. But I know I simply must read something that begins:
"My love is a gardenia between silk sheets".

One line gave me pause:

"A hollow center of fired clay left to set in" [Is the clay pot something to set something in? Or to sit in.]

Thank you, K, for brightening my day.

Thank you very much for reading and reviewing. That line was the one I got seriously stuck on, so I'm not surprised it came out muddled. I'll have to look it over again. I don't think of it as a sonnet, considering its rhyming is all over the place. I enjoyed it. I hope you have a wonderful day.
