Consuming Failure

Consuming Failure Pay heed the dancing chickens hot plate feet lest you believe the music makes him strut outrunning death by curried peppers sweet the cooling of the iron his sole treat keep moving to avoid the final cut pay heed the dancing chickens hot plate feet harsh tempo of perfections searing heat obsession with the ifs, and whens, and buts outrunning death by curried peppers sweet performing in the hope of winning seat an endless line that must remain uncut pay heed the dancing chickens hot plate feet there is in heated battle no retreat for some the dancer’s door will soon slam shut outrunning death by curried peppers sweet accept in simple failure your defeat perfections long sought peak a muddy rut pay heed the dancing chickens hot plate feet outrunning death by curried peppers sweet 6/12/2015 submitted to – Villanelle’s and Terzanelle’s Only – Poetry Contest sponsor – Shadow Hamilton
