Take this poem

read it

with open eyes

mull it over in your mind

let it roll off your tongue

let the taste of it

stay with you for a while

may it make you think

and satisfy your appetite

let it linger

until you get hungry again

a poem is a plate of words

served up with relish and spice

wipe your mouth when finished

once satisfied

be glad the poem

came to your senses.
