Cinnamon Girl



Women come in a variety of flavors:
Exotic saffron,
Passionate cayenne,
Elegant tarragon.
I am a cinnamon girl,
Spunky and playful,
The comforting taste
Of a small town girl-next-door.
I may never inspire dreams
Of wild adventures
And exotic locales,
But still a fine flavor
For a man with the right palate.

Mary- How clever of you! Cinnamon is always a nice treat. Hmmm...I'll have to think about what I am.

Ah, what fun! So you are a 'cinnamon girl.' I think I would be a 'cajun spice' or 'hot chili pepper' or a 'Fox Point seasonings' (you have to know Penzey's spices) type of person. I do like cinnamon...as a flavoring for coffee!

Oh, this is fantastic and very clever. Loved it! I love dill.. I sprinkle it all over my salads and sandwiches. So I guess I'm a dill gal. :)

Oh, and did you know that a dash of cinnamon is really, really good in spaghetti sauce?

You did it! Started me thinking about what kind of spice I might be. Curry? Pepper? Cumin? Nutmeg? The possibilities are endless ... thanks for the suggestion.

I've known men who need curry. I longed to be exotic for them. Found a man who likes my salt and pepper flavor, and 20 years later still finds me just right for him. Fun poem and good thoughts.

You should join suicidegirls ;) It reads saucy and playful, I like your take.
