Lick Poems - Poems about Lick

When you are not fed love on a silver spoon you learn to lick it off knives
A silver spoon or a knife They are both made out of metal One showed strife The other one disguise as a skettle The edges are sharp, the wounds are real But they don’t hurt as much as feeling unlovable “I’ll do anything for you “ is all i want to hear It got me doing the unthinkable I would...

Premium Member Sand Promises
As I walk the beach, I ask what will you teach? The waves lick my feet, with a white foam so sweet. Sand promises to do and see, is this the magic key? I look back to see my footprints, cool and refreshing as a mouth full of mints. The sand of tan and water so blue, your promises were always new....

Something about paint I absolutely adore!~feeling more fluid-thinking when wearing an old smock, branded with dashes and blobs, to my mind each one a stripe of rank with starry splashes my medals – like coral reefs like florescent algae a new canvas primed, runny with liquid motion; I thrust my igniting brush...somewhat sad when all is dried and framed; yet the good...

My tongue will lick the paddle clean then I'll put three scoops in a frosted dish. I'm not greedy but can't resist the temptation. So worth the wait and all the cranking labor for such a refreshing dessert! One...

The Broken House of Lady Lick-Penny
I have always lived in this house. Yet, these floors I don’t seem to remember. From parlour to pantry there were once rugs from Persia and Minton tiles of cherry in the halls. Now the boards are decayed and rotten and I can see the earth and worms through splintered holes. These walls make me shudder and cringe. From skirting to...
