Notes About The Poem

Contest- Sense of Taste 7/28/25

Sponsor-Nette Onclaud

By The Streetlamp

the saltiness of my tears
drips upon my lips and tongue
after rolling down my face
from the blandness of our love
that was a savored passion
until the dawn of heartbreak
when our portions of love changed
and love became spoiled and cold
