Sustenance Poems - Poems about Sustenance

Submission leads to sustenance? In what world is this? Death, dynamite, dominance! Blowing Doom a kiss! High cliff force in summer late? Staggers in the gait. O ye gods above, strife? Sate.

Knocking boots, it was fun until the boots got old. The best scrumpy was not a girl at all, but a pint of raw cider. Midway through a hike, she cooked up hot Irish stew in a chill mountain mist. Never gave much thought to stimulating aromatics until wood smoke got in my eyes. The butchers dog always had the biggest balls in town, marrow bones...
