This viscous thought
I roll in the hollow structure
tending to let it out,
instead – murmur and groan
moving to howl.
The muscular hydrostat
on the floors
test/taste the offering
even not material,-
visualized once.
Is it edible? Aligned with
papillae/buds?
The nerves & blood vessels
supply the answers.
Sensitive, it keeps moist,
articulates the needs;
adept, it knows
how to manipulate
for mastication
and when to spit.

So beautiful! Never have I enjoyed even a paragraph about the talents and properties of this body part, never mind a poem. Admittedly I had to look words up. I drink a toast to your cleverness (tasting first, of course).
ReplyDeleteHaha, thank you, Susan! I'm really still live in this poem...go to drink a water and maybe put some ice on the other part of my body...LOL ~ Thank you so much! What a fun! :)x

ReplyDeleteHow creative...surprising what a petal can produce
ReplyDeletecreative thoughts deeply symbolic with highly physical connotations-suggestive of numerous ideas to the scanning reader-well composed with striking choice of words
