Notes About The Poem

Her Words Are Minced

Her words are minced, like sweetened meat in pies. She must believe that all of us are thick. Be warned; she’ll try to fill you up on lies. A pretty crust she makes to get a rise from you! Her forked tongue gives that crust a prick. Her words are minced, like sweetened meat in pies. Half-truths she loves to softly vocalize. Remember, though, that it is all a trick. Be warned; she’ll try to fill you up on lies. She’ll coo and soothe with words to tantalize. She’ll have you hooked if you take just one lick! Her words are minced, like sweetened meat in pies. She also sighs and flirts with winsome eyes, More ploys used by this very clever chick. Be warned; she’ll try to fill you up on lies. She feeds great lines! It’s all to strategize, and if you eat it up, you can get sick! Her words are minced, like sweetened meat in pies. Be warned; she’ll try to fill you up on lies. June 23, 2016

Sweet and sour slice of life Lady and me thinks your words are from the heart of one who knows what's going on behind the tapestry of souls. Yes to your earlier question.

I enjoy a good minced meat pie Andrea, probably why I am so gullible and easily taken in by people like this. A very strong simile used in your repeated line, enjoyed the write.

I read this yesterday and I see I forgot to live a message a great write, Andrea. Good luck in the contest. Thank you for reading my poem “Rambling On Mincing With Words”, I just put it in for fun, because I really didn’t understand what John wanted. Hugs Eve

Most entertaining Andrea! Fortunately I already ate so I won't be enticed by her pies.

I'll ask you the same question I just asked another. Does one need tweezers to remove Polly Ticks, or should one feed them then mush them with left over crackers? :) Hugs, Mikki
