Ingrid Showalter Swift Poet Free verse

Mince Meat Sky High Pie 2016-6

“This is gonna be good” 
I'm gonna dice it
slice it
half it 
whole it
fork it 
knife it
and spoon feed it…. 
to myself

You may say 
Oh drop it!
Stop it !
chop it 
crop it
lop it
flop it 
or hop it if you must!
Cause I really know how to beat it
break it
take it
fake it
forsake it
and make it
…completely annoying

But ….you can’t say I didn’t 
minced it
rinse it 
create it
debate it
relay it 
and do it …my very own way

(Apologies -actual form is a question??? I think it isn't one. Muse written)

John Lawless June 27, 2016 at 8:39 AM Way to go Ingrid!!! The "choppy" cadence and repetition almost had me singing this the second time I read it. Very interesting take on the theme. Thanks for participating in the contest. Ingrid Showalter Swift June 28, 2016 at 11:27 AM Hi John! Thank you for the nod!!!! :) Great fun competition! So glad you enjoyed it Ingrid
