Nothing like a little naughty nature imagery to perk up your work day

This was the poem on my Poetry Daily calendar.


Aubade

As I would free the white almond from the green husk
So would I strip your trappings off,
Beloved.
And fingering the smooth and polished kernel
I should see that in my hands glittered a gem beyond counting.

--Amy Lowell
