Taste Test

Taste Test

A Poem by Alister Flik

 The bland taste of boredom

rests on my tongue.

This dish was served dryly tonight.

It settles in my stomach and

floats, as my thoughts slide

from nothing, to nothing.

Then it begins bubbling;

rising up like baking bread.

It reaches my throat

with a burst of flavor,

and I laugh long and hard.

Uncontrollable--I spill giggles

all over the table.

They bounce and spin like

dropped marbles.

Large liquid drops stream down

my chin--a soothing drink

on my laughing tongue.

I must be bored to tears.

What a picture!!!
This is an awesome snapshot of a moment in time and the visualization is wonderful.

When I look at pieces like this and see 12 views and 0 reviews, it reminds me that most folks just don't know writing or simply don't take the time to read and understand.
Well sculpted piece!

What to say? I could be boring; say what is obvious: I like writing. I could be bizarre; say something random: I like frogs. I could be mysterious; say nothing: What do you want from me? Ask. .. more..

Writing
Look. Look.
