Sparse Plate

Sparse Plate Never trust poetic twists making old words new forms that merely test your wits hold your breath till blue. Searching for the perfect rhymes garnish for sparse plate parsley, sage, and wilted thyme’s vain attempt to sate. 4/4/2015 submitted to 7/5 Trochee – poetry contest sponsor - Andrea Dietrich
