Oh, the truth lingers on

At the tip

Fresh off the tongue

Like a spice

tickles down

Leaves you flustered

Leaves a frown?



Some people can tolerate more

Others are more

Sensitive.



Relief is right there

Straight from the breast

Take a quick swiggle

It’ll soothen the test.



If you get flushed though

Don’t berate yourself much

Just means you need less,

Mon amie,

What a rush

My beard makes the kids laugh
And the young one's giggle,
It gives my red Scottish nose
A fun swig and wiggle.
Sue Collins Sep 2019
Sometimes adrift is the best option. Uncertainty, a sure thing. Wavering, a symphony of resonance.
Leave the list for a whim. The cracks in the wall signal character; the tilt of the roof, charm.

Play like a child with a brand-new toy. See, smell, touch for the first time. Angle, circles, wood, plastic.
Forego the plot summaries and join the story. The runner runs backwards, the swimmer floats idly.

Swiggle a circle where there once was a box and leave hems undone. Plant your feet on terra non-firma.
Letting go. Swinging every which way. Lose the myopic lens. Black-and-white pales against blooming flowers.

— The End —
