the lust for words…

goût

Words can be a feast.

There is a lust for words

that dances round the page,

and waits for you,

for me,

it doesn’t hide,

it lingers for the last little word,

the glittering one

that leaps from the quill,

and fills the plate,

and waits for you,

for me,

to taste the shine…

My poem “goût” is inspired by “When My Friend Asks Me a Difficult Question” by Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer, August 25, 2023, as published on her website
