John Anderson Poet Free verse

Listen to poem:

For Your Sake

For your sake I will warm up
the weaselly words
to downplay the fiery spirit
of cold straight and raw poesy juice.
I will serve it blood hot, 
warmed up,
hand-cupped with love,
in wily, lily white bowls.

John Lawless June 7, 2018 at 7:54 AM I'll have a double "hot poesy juice"....I can just see those "weaselly words" peering from their dens. Thanks for participating in the contest
