The Taste of Poetry

Poetry
Has been nourishment for me
Since the first time that I read

It out of the jar
From behind the pantry door
When I cracked open the lid

I took out my knife
Stirred the insides
Then over my life I evenly spread

Where the delicious taste
Of poetry has not gone to waste
I've thoroughly enjoyed it ever since then

Great sentiment Mike .. I only dipped into the poetry pot in November 2013 when I wrote my first poem and got my first taste of writing and now I can't wait to dip my spoon in on a daily basis:-) hugs jan xx
