LOLLI #poetry by jay

Sop and sweet

Tea, on my breath

A side of Peach 

Lolli 

Pop On a stick 

Between

Your teeth

You smile 

Deep

Regret lingers

In the leaves

At the bottom

Of my tea

Cup, a solemn

Reprieve

Left inside 

A lost

Beginning

A chance of

Meetings

Always with

Tea and me

And Lolli

Hanging 

Mercilessly

Between your

Tattered

Broken teeth.

  1. That is a great piece of writing Jay! The line break and imagery is fabulous!😀
    “Lolli
    Pop On a stick
    Between
    Your teeth
    You smile
    Deep”
    That is superb!!! Both the breaks and imagery😜😅
    What is implied perfectly pitched behind the scenery!

“The best thing for being sad ... is to learn something. That's the only thing that never fails. ... That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting.” --- T.H. White
