Paper Plate

Paper Plate

serve me well friend poet;
flavor anew words I've
eaten all my life.

Ho ho, and don't we eat our words, probably more often than we'd like to. Clever way you tie this knot! Luv, Lizzie

A very clever metaphor! Poets need to eat too, but we have an additional appetite for words. A super piece!! Love, Keith (PS as for prepositions: I was taught not to end sentences with them, but language has gotten looser, and grammar is suffering. If I see it done I squirm!)
