honeysuckle vine
summer breeze’s fragrant nectar
childhood memories
closing my eyes I recall
sweet elixir drops on tongue

A wonderful combination of scent and taste 🙂 There was a red honeysuckle-like flower we used to drink from as children.

Thank you Drew. A childhood memory that is so vivid. The taste of honeysuckle on my tongue. Even now, it makes me smile.
