K.S.’s friends are awfully nice
to keep on reading
the lineated licorice
she tried to pass
as poems.
The honorable thing
would be
for her to keep quite
for a while. Alas,
she can’t help it.
She wants the attention.

Given. I love licorice.
We’re happy to see anything you post. All us poets want the attention even if we deny it.
Poetry is about paying attention. We need attention so we can pay attention.
Clever! And fun.
Love this!
We all want attention. It’s not a bad thing. In a universe vast on both the micro and macro ends (and all between), a little attention is a way we know we are alive.
Neither honor nor joy could come from your silence. Keep that licorice coming!
