Jeff Kyser Poet Quintain (Sicilian)

Strange Paradox

seventeen Septembers savored
    sweet, sober joy - strange paradox
        sampling life’s effusive flavors
            intoxicating skyward thoughts
                inexplicably-found favor

Andrea Dietrich September 23, 2022 at 7:52 PM This makes me curious to know what made it sweet and sober at the same time. It needs a part two!! Congrats in my contest.
