David Lindsay Poet Rhyme

Minced Words

Give me leg, a breast or a steak
A fillet or rump any time
For a solid piece of meat to chew
Is nothing short of sublime

Serve it with rice or slices of bread
Chipped potatoes or a veg or two
Add a sauce if you'd like for me to try
I'll happily share it with you

Or mince it and throw it into a pan
Brown it off, let it simmer so nice
Salt it and add any flavours you wish
Add herbs and pepper and spice

If you give it a twist, you might make it your own
Either bold or subtle is fine
Simple or complex, tried and tested or new
I'll be ready to sample and dine

The same can be said for your poetry and words
If you prepare them and treat them with care
Then I'll trust you to help fill my mind and my soul
I'll devour, if you're willing to share

Cheryl Hoffman June 20, 2016 at 9:18 PM I like the analogy there David, comparing good food to good poetry you can devour! Love your poem!:) David Lindsay June 22, 2016 at 9:36 PM Thanks Cheryl. Wasn't sure if it would work, but happy enough in the end :)
