Spin For a Kiss

The empty bottle spins, round-and-round, its long neck beckons me, To the flowers in full bloom releasing their scent of sweet nectar, The rose I kiss; and I have tasted love for the first time. By Greg Stanley January 31, 2012 Entry for Tracie’s “Sijo’s Kisses” contest

I had just about forgotten that little game until I read about it here. Looks like a good sijo for Tracie's contest.

Ohhh! Good one!! Spin the bottle is not a good memory for me. Let's just say I kissed a couple of frogs before I found my prince. Sounds like a sweet memory for you!! Blessings, Rhonda
