I Will Explain

I will explain the word 'impaled' this contest's challenge, Holy Grail Though not as easy as you think from this challenge I shall not shrink So, here we go: Time to set sail To pierce an object, that's impale with a sharp stick: First you inhale then stab that thing, try not to blink... I will explain Impale someone, you'll go to jail but skewered shwarma's food upscale Brutus' knife did Caesar hoodwink yet shish-ke-bob's fine with a drink be it cola, wine, or stout ale... I will explain July 22, 2019 Impaled Poetry Contest Sponsor: Anthony Slausin

A perplexing poem but different and creative, with imagination that Gershon just whips up. Good luck in the contest my friend. Hugs, Jennifer.

If this poem is 1/2 of what you've critiqued it as, I'd be more than satisfied. Thanks for the enthusiastic review, Jennifer. Best wishes, Gershon

That is a lovely explanation, Gershon. Now it is very clear for me.
