Let Me Compare You

The elderberry, sweet and tart
like the feel of your arms.
A rush of emotions,
bitter to best.

Ta-da, it comes spritzing like a shaken soda.
Exploding, a sticky mess
that remains on your skin:
a residue stubborn enough
to make you win.

As if taken out from a book, it hooks
you to the climax in the chapter
eager for a happy ever-after.

the use of comparison to these unexpected instances is excellent. the images are vivid and clever and unexpected. great poem.

I loved this! So short and sweet and the second stanza is my fave. Spritzing is probably my new favourite word!
