Poeticizing
Tongue trawls lines
charily;
mouth centering
life saver
with cored
sibilance;
limns sweetness
and not; loves
what it sounds like.

Divided By Too
If you say it once,
you say it six times, half-
a-dozen, twelve divided
by two, your
words soon bricks in
my wall. You call it
explaining; I call it
self-defense.

This is posted for “Real Toads“, for a poetry challenge by the wonderful Mama Zen to write something in 35 words or less. Her idea (with which I agree heartily) is that most bloggers go on just too darn long. (I include myself in this indictment; I should also add that the voice of the “I” in the poem above is probably not mine, as I’m guessing I tend to fall into the wordier category.) Enough said.
