Alrighty – hour 9 with the prompt “hold this on your tongue”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Poem 9:<\/p>\n
If you hold this on your tongue<\/p>\n
and let it dissolve like a fresh fallen<\/p>\n
snowflake two days before your birthday<\/p>\n
you will engrain this taste into your memory.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The ink will flow from you freely and often,<\/p>\n
the story will be your’s to tell any time you like,<\/p>\n
and the poetry will morph so flawlessly with the<\/p>\n
creatures and art you surround yourself with<\/p>\n
that you may even begin to forget who created what.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I like to think that if you hold this idea<\/p>\n
on your tongue for long enough you’ll<\/p>\n
almost never be able to forget what my<\/p>\n
poetry and I tasted like either.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
