For Your Sake

Listen to poem:

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.

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

That's the Japanese sake, right? Reads well both ways, John. Very clever.
