Marmalade (108 of 365)

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.
