Vickie Hurtt - Thayer Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Hard Pills To Swallow

I Swallowed,

My Bitterness,

Down With Pride, 

If I Said,

"It Tasted Great,"

I Would Have Lied, 

Hate Got Stuck,

In My Throat,

Next,

To Regrets,

I Drank Last Night, 

None Of These Pills,

Were Good For Me, 

I Had To Play,

Referee, 

"Foul Play,"

Was My Call,

As My Tongue,

Began To Loll,

With Much Distaste,

I Swallowed,

It All.
