Day 108 of the 365 day poem challenge.
Word of the day meaning grandiloquent: "is a fancy term for, being fancy or pretentious. In fact, you might say grandiloquent is itself a pretty grandiloquent word."
Marmalade
Hearth sombre marmalade
Grandiloquent and oozing
Toast and toasting
Mornings and midnight
Spread it thick
Spread it slathering and dripping
Peel and teasing
Pulp and candy
Honey and orange and lime and cherry
Laughter became the moisture
The jam jars reflected golden
Marmalade delights
Longing and suspension as the suspension hung like a hungry lolling tongue dripping down
My throat.
