Tripping Over T's

                                                                                                                                                               

Trolling for treats,
Tricks that fuel desires.
Turn up the heat,
Thrust wood into the fire.

Tortured by guilt,
Traumatized by pleasure.
Torn from foundations built,
Trusted vows so treasured.

Tender tongues transpire,
Traveling to uncharted places.
Tasting new flavors never tires,
Traces drizzled on content faces.

Treading waves once more,
Tempted for a life sub par.
Trembling as he opens the back door,
Trapped with her hand in the cookie jar.

    Libby - I have been caught with chocolate on my hands once or twice! Thanks Libby!

    Rossandra - I actually had fun doing it, and decided to write a few for the challenge. Thanks for following me, and I'll be over to visit you soon!

    Thanks Jen!

    Joy - Thank you and I appreciate you stopping by!

    Thanks Empty Nester!

    Lynn - Too funny! Thanks Lynn!

    LG - Extra points for the totally terrific alliteration! Thanks LG!

    Mary - I've done two of these and have at least one more coming up, so I'm starting to confuse myself too! Thanks Mary!

    Delores - Last year I wrote a darker "T" poem, and some people thought that it was based on my life, so I thought I'd try a lighter version this time. Thanks Delores!

    Thanks Yvonne!

    Donna - Some other good "T" words! Thanks Donna!

    Yet again, I'm so impressed. I laughed at the last line too. Your alliterative rhymes equate with terrifically creative fun. And yet this one has a sexy deviance to it. Very well done, Julie!

    Alex - Get your guitar ready, we're setting this to music! Thanks Alex!

    Robyn - Aren't you the originator of the "sexy deviance" mixed with chocolate combo?! Thanks Robyn!
