Beyond the Grocer's Shelves
Freud goes shopping
cigar clenched,
his mood grows restless.
Displays of carrots, asparagus,
cucumbers, bananas, and oysters
induce thoughts that arouse.
Lust disrobes as chocolate whispers
and a juicy ripe peach is held in hand.
His dreams will never be the same.

![]() Words have always fascinated me and I love the array of flavors they offer. That taste is intensified when words are allowed to steep, then poetry is the result and the blend is indeed one to savor. It is my wish that you will enjoy the special blend of poems that make up my first chapbook "Searching for Tea Leaves in a Pot of Coffee."
Terry Lowenstein

From the book:
Taunting Sigmund
Life raises her skirt
and flirts with Freud.
He chokes on cigar smoke
and tries in vain
to coax her to his couch.
She laughs, avoids his grasp
and speaks with words that hint
of symbolism while mocking theory.
He reaches yet again,
determination pulsing
through his veins.
But, Life will not be caught
and tiring of the game,
waltzes out.
Only her perfume remains
to dance with his mind
and tease his soul.
