Christopher Flaherty Poet Free verse

Ab Salt Poetry Contest

Salt of the earth
Salt of the sea

Paid in salt

Salt without fries
Salt without pepper

Cubes
Grains
Packets

Kosher
Pink
Liver

Condiment

Old fish wife's tale cure
for cramp
Fast forward to today
Comes with a health warning
apparently bad for you

Salt is the greatest metaphor
for life

For salt is everywhere

Osmosis
