\r\nThis was written December 20th, 2025<\/i>\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\nFirst Impression<\/h2>\r\n
\r\nIf a sense, never had before,
\r\nSuddenly, awakened so for,
\r\nA brief instant’s exposure,
\r\nTo choose optimal pleasure,
\r\nWould you plead for subtle or,
\r\nWith boldness shake to the core.\r\n<\/p>
\r\nFirst vision for the blind,
\r\nRetina should I bind,
\r\nPoint to the sky’s pure azure,
\r\nOr instead show dusk’s treasure,
\r\nAurora Borealis,
\r\nOr perhaps Fireworks bliss.\r\n<\/p>
\r\nYet let’s not forget the deaf,
\r\nWhat should we think is their pref?
\r\nPoems on them would be lost,
\r\nSpoken language at a cost,
\r\nHeart beat, bird’s chirp or music,
\r\nYet there’s Thunder, intrinsic.\r\n<\/p>
\r\nWhat of one’s first aroma,
\r\nMaybe tomato roma,
\r\nFlower subtle yet pleasant,
\r\nCould be the perfect first scent,
\r\nLest we forget shock and mark,
\r\nLeft by a number 2’s bark.\r\n<\/p>
\r\nWhat of a taste this mistress that,
\r\nMany of us does make fat.
\r\nSweet or sour to address?
\r\nOpt for Indian boldness?
\r\nMaybe Japan’s subtlety?
\r\nOr could simply choose great tea.\r\n<\/p>
\r\nTouch a bit more subtle yet,
\r\nSome of you lewd thoughts have met,
\r\nOthers silk and cashmere think,
\r\nPerfect candidates to ink.
\r\nYet to me simplicity,
\r\nSnow’s soft and cold it would be.\r\n<\/p>
\r\nLet me add oh just one more,
\r\nListen oh please I implore,
\r\nGravity we also sense,
\r\nAnd this one could be so tense,
\r\nFree-fall could be a wild dance,
\r\nYet it might be too intense.\r\n<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
